And in the blink of an eye, my (mostly) European nomadic days came to an end… Random lessons from six months on the road, in no particular order. Pack less. Walk more, as it balances out the wine and carbs. Carbs in Europe aren’t the same as carbs in the US. Wine is way better and tauntingly affordable as well.Find saunas to sweat it out. Walk even more. Travel buddies are the best. Especially on trains. Don’t look down at your phone for directions in the metro on the stairs if you don’t want to tumble twenty cement stairs. Make sure to look up. Then make sure look up even higher at the way the clouds dress the sky behind ornate architecture. A quiet day in a beautiful place full of history and culture is never boring. Just absorbing the world around you can feel like an accomplishment in an unknown place. Learn other languages. Write often. Reach out to friends of friends. You never know who you’ll meet along the way, so stay open. Watch your back. And your backpack. Find bodies of water as often as possible. And trees. And thank them. Dance whenever you can. Audiobooks are a gal’s best friend. Walk even more still. Make sure you know how to drive stick-shift. Pack even less, cause storied clothes from adventures are much more fun. Getting lost on purpose shows you you know the way. One can push the limits of consumption. Leave time for stillness. So consumption can lead to creation. Sometimes reality isn’t always as fabulous as fantasy. And sometimes it is. So find out. Because magic is real. And so are mental breakdowns amidst the magic. And when things fall apart, it is just a part of the process. So don’t judge it or you with your umbrella cane until you’re walking straight again. Keep walking. • • • #Repost • • • And there was a girl 🤍 @ulikula
My adventures began in a familiar place with unknown people. I met amazing souls along the way, crossing paths with fabulous friends as well. And the adventure ended in an unfamiliar place with a friend from birth, practically. Thank you @stephaniesroy for being a lifelong friend, and for moving mountains (or rather from your mountain haven) to meet me in Italy. Thank you for indulging in my antics, from colosseum brawls to bathing in the Vatican. It was an epic adventure and I am so blessed to count you as a friend through all the ups and downs of our many moons on earth thus far. Cheers to many more adventures (and no more pasta).
