Alright, so here's the deal.
Recently, I've made a discovery about myself. This may come as a complete surprise to you (as it did to me), but I take a lot of photos--more than the average person.
Ok, it wasn't a surprise at all, but it's enough to know that I DO take photos. Right?
Anyway, originally I created this blog to keep friends and family up-to-date on my SAS doings. Cool idea in theory, but didn't work in practice, as I did not have the internet capacity to continue updating as I went, and towards the end of my trip I became extremely busy with classwork anyway (busy? On a cruise ship? Excuse me, voyage...).
When I realized that most of my photos just sit and mold in files on my computer, I decided I needed an ongoing project to keep them fresh and aired out. My aunt scrapbooks--I thought maybe I'd do the same, but I don't really have the funds for such a thing (though I do enjoy it). Then I decided it would be cool to make movies out of my pictures (this after playing with iPhoto on a friend's Macbook). Again, though, I found myself thwarted by my lack of cash. I don't have anything with Mac software, and it would cost me a minimum of several hundred dollars to get started.
So, instead, I made the brilliant (inspired, genius, creative) decision to turn this into a travel blog. My work is half done, now all I need to do is convert some pages here and there to usefulness and voila!
This isn't a guarantee that I'll travel much. In fact, I foresee a distinct decline in travel progress in the near future as I find employment (hopefully). However, I find that while "travel" can relate to experiences abroad (as my new "description" may suggest), it may also be in reference to a personal journey, an imaginative one, or even a simple hour-long drive to someplace new. In any case, I will now be blogging the journeys of my life (which may be a better description, now that I think of it).
Welcome to my travel blog.
