So..I'm leaving again

In exactly 1 week, 1 day, 9 hours and 20 minutes I am leaving again. This time I don't exactly know where the road will take me, what I will experience, what I will do or if I would like it. But still, I am going.

A few months ago I had decided to move to England to study Swahili and development studies. But my friend wanted it different. She called me one day and said: "hey, wanna take a year of and travel the world?" I knew she was serious about it, so I said yes, and here we are. I couldn't refuse such an offer, I definitely would have regretted saying no.

I would rather regret something that I have done, than something that I didn't do, so here goes. A one year long journey. First going east, than south before crossing the pacific ocean and then going south again. We haven't planned much more than that, and that's how we like it. We take what comes and see where the road leads us. I am exited about it, I really am. But I'm also a bit scared. Having no idea what to expect, what to wish for or what to fear one has to be a bit scared, right?

Stay tuned, and you will see where I end up and how it goes.

Good loard Maren, I had no clue you have been writing all along. I am so glad I found your blog today. I had thought you're on a break from blogosphere.

This is exciting! I learnt about your blog just now, when you wrote on FB. This is fabulous. I want to do all those things on your list on your page at the moment. Really thrilled for you. Be good, enjoy yourself. I am sure you'll have a lifetime of memories thanks to the world trip. I am going to be reading here regularly, hope you get a chance to post as much as you can.

Sort of jealous of you too, but I hope I can make a similar trip one day :)
