CURRENT MISSION

the search for a couch (bed, futon, whathaveyou) in boulder, co from sept. 22nd-25th.

ABOUT ME

as stated above, i am currently willfully unemployed and living in massachusetts. a few months ago i decided to quit my job in ohio, sell all my sellable belongings, and move what could not be sold back to my childhood home in mass. from there i embarked upon a 3 month solo journey in southern europe. though i visited spain, portugal, italy, france and switzerland during those 3 months, i only achieved half of my goal of visiting 10 countries. but still...the personal growth and appreciation for all that life has to over has grown in unmeasurable amounts. best decision i ever made. i am now embarking upon the challenge of putting myself back in the position to have that type of travel experience in my life again. i am staying with my folks in my childhood home until i get back on my feet (read: find a job, aquire lodging of my own).
moving back in with your parents is a humbling experience, and an odd one to follow the life-changing, always satisfying experience of solo world travel.
