getting out there

i don't know what it is about coming home from a trip that makes me want to begin planning another one. don't get me wrong, i love our studio. in fact, i prefer to be at home when i'm not working. but give me a little break from la and the day-to-day cycle, and i'm all yours.

in college, as i studied my #%$ off, i envisioned myself with a career that would allow me to see the world. i always hoped to be an adult who traveled, who learned more by experiencing new places rather than by reading about them. and i always imagined myself sharing the adventure with someone else.

i am beyond grateful for this life i have been given, in which i am that adult with a flexible, steady career and a loving, adventurous partner. it is a privilege to set time aside for little trips, however big or small. and to be with my partner in crime...even better.

all of this is to say that g and i booked a flight for puerto rico in may! sure, we are in saving mode for an eventual move up north, but when we get opportunities to travel, we'll take it. life is far too short to sit on our laurels and save for something that we both know will happen in its own timing. we're young, with flexible schedules, in good health, and eager to learn what's out there. so we're going to do it, and i'm sure it will be worth it.

i think my college self would be proud.
