Luang Prabang, Laos: A Lesson on Goodbye's and See You Next Time's

I do quite well with goodbyes.

A person who thinks herself a traveler has to be. More often than not, a place she visits is a place she leaves eventually. Saying goodbye is a necessary part of the adventure, like shoddy toilets, delayed flights and occasional homesickness. It’s just part of the experience.

Getting My Blogging Groove Back

Or trying to, at least. I don't know how other bloggers do it, how they can be so damn consistent when it comes to posting on the regular*. I've always been...flighty when it comes to my writing. It's not a love-hate relationship per se - perhaps it's more about how I have one too many commitment issues (only about writing). Or maybe I just require a certain mood, a certain feeling, a certain environment, to get me writing. I celebrated my birthday yesterday and decided to take today off to rest, so I'm at my favorite coffee house and it's practically empty (so I feel less guilty about overstaying. I just love it here so much, I can't help it!). My schedule is clear for the day, and more importantly, my mind is clear and free of work and social calendar matters, so I thought it was time to post something. 

When I lurk around my favorite travel pages on Facebook, I always see these travel photos with travel-related quotes on them and they always inspire me, so I thought I'd get my creative juices flowing by making a few of my own. So I edited some of my favorite travel photos, and there you go. Here's the first one. More to come, I guess. 

Also, I already said this on Facebook, but again, thank you to all those who greeted me on my birthday. I'm ever so grateful! Here's a song for you - I woke up to it playing on MTV yesterday and thought how very cool it was to wake up to my birthday with such an appropriate song. I want the world to celebrate, cheers! 

*"Posting on the regular", oh lord. I haven't heard that since the 90's. What is wrong with me.
