Journey Eesti

Greetings! It's been a little while, and a lot has changed. April was a very busy and marginally chaotic month, as I handed in my resignation. Why? I'm going traveling! Next Monday, I get on a plane and head to Ireland for one week, and then Estonia for five. It hasn't really hit me yet, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I guess I'll see in a few days time. 

So, why did I decide to quit and travel?

A few reasons. I haven't taken any proper time off and done any real vacation for several years (I think since I was 15), and after seven years of school and another two years of work, I was ready to do something. I'm foot loose and fancy free, so it's easy right now to just up and go! At least in words. 

The second big reason is I'm nearing the halfway point in my book, and I feel it would be disingenuous finish and try to publish it without going to the place that it takes place and really EXPERIENCE it. When I talk about the forests and the bogs that Anu and Raph go through, I'll know what to actually say. 

And the third. My job the past two years has affected me more than I care to admit, and I desperately needed to alter something. So, I needed a change, and this trip is indeed a VERY big change.  

So what now? Well, I travel! I see amazing places, meet amazing people, and get a little lost. Maybe a lot lost. After I get home, I have some BIG plans, but I'll talk about those later :) 

I'll try and update this blog as much as I can once I hit Europe, and take you along on this journey! If you're looking to follow along more closely, check out my Instagram, as I'll definitely be posting there all the time.

Until then, stay safe and stay wild :)
