This Friday my brother and I are taking
a 7 day roadtrip. I know, I know, I just told you about (half of) the
destinations for my drive home, but this trip is really getting me
pumped. We're hitting up a bunch of National Parks which I have
drooled over for years, and never seen. This also means it may be really difficult for me to post during that week, but I will try to at least get some pictures up for you!
The plan is to make a stop at each
location, collect a post card, mail it to myself, and then create a
book like this one from Curiosity Contained. I plan to do this on my
solo trip to Ohio as well. Hopefully it will make for an awesome
memoir. . . I really only wish I had found this idea sooner and had
done it all summer.
From Curiosity Contained . . . of course theirs is from Paris . . . rude |
Why I travel:
Adventure
is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often
risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The
world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will
collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you
will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and
bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you
yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever
again be black-and-white. – Mark
Jenkins
Oh my goodness, that postcard book is a fabulous idea! Love your comment regarding Paris. XD
