CURRENT MISSION To explore, to create, to wander until found, to make the most of the world we live in. To find solace and beauty in places far away from where I grew up. To find myself. To just have fun, and be happy, to learn new things, and find a purpose. ABOUT ME Eleutheromania: (n.) an intense and irresistible desire for freedom. Fernweh: (n.) an ache for distant place; the craving for travel. I'm just looking to experience the world for what it really is, and see the wonders and beauty of both people and scenery. I'm not ready to grow up just yet, I need to explore and adventure a little (or a lot) first. PHILOSOPHY Dérive: (n.) lit. "drift"; a spontaneous journey where the traveller leaves their life behind for a time to let the spirit of the landscape and the architecture attract and move them. Life is a gift and to waste it spending time doing jobs we don't enjoy, and being unhappy is not okay. I want to live my life the way I want to live it. I want to be free and independent, and explore until there's nothing left that I feel I need to explore. My dreams are bigger than the place I live, I cannot stay. "Normality is a paved road: It's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it." ~ Vincent Van Gogh. Life can be a paved road, or it can be a long and windy dirt road that leads from the woods to the ocean, with flowers growing wild and with abandon wherever you look. It is down to what you make of it.
