And I want to meet you!
Okay. I realize that most of you are complete strangers to me, but plenty of you aren’t. I mean, I kind of wish I could meet all of you and show you how random I am in person, but I can’t. So that’s why this is really going to be a trip of a lifetime! Because I am going to get to meet some of you! (I hope)
Let me tell you what’s going on. I don’t have an exact itinerary just yet. But I do at least know a handful of countries I’m hoping to visit, so if you happen to live in one of the countries then we’re about to meet! I know for sure I’ll be going to the UK, France, Australia, Germany, and then circle around back to the US and visit a few states I’ve always wanted to see. If you live in one of these states/cities you better say so! California. New York. Washington D.C. And depending on the time I spend in New York and California, I may slip into Canada for a day or so.
So that’s it! My little trip around the world.
You’re probably wondering why I’m doing this at all. Well, I think the best time for one to travel is the time immediately following college graduation. And yes, I graduated two years ago, but I’m still in that period. And as for the blog, well I’m leaving fairly soon because there’s no reason for me to wait, but I’m going to write some posts and schedule them out for the next few days. But I most likely will not be blogging during my trip, which I expect to last about two weeks. Because I’ve never had the chance to travel and I don’t want to spend that time replying to comments and checking stats.
If you happen to live in the UK, France, Germany, Australia, California, New York, Washington D.C., or Canada, AND think you might like to meet me in the near future…then you need to tell me! I think we could probably figure something out.
That’s all for today. MP Sharma, I’m stealing you and bringing you back in my suitcase!
Wow, what a trip. I’m envious. I never had a shot at doing something like this, because I was employed right out of college (which is good in other ways, but it basically killed any free spirit travel ambitions for a few years. At least until I build up some vacation time).
I really enjoyed Washington DC when I visited last year though. There is so much to do there. I think my favorite part was the National Gallery. So many legendary artists have pieces there, including Van Gogh and Da Vinci. And of course a book-lover like you must visit the Library of Congress!
Really hoping you have fun and stay safe during your travels!! And don’t worry about us. Enjoy your time away from the interwebs. We’ll happily be here when you get back.

The Library of Congress is on my bookish bucket list! Literally one of the places in the world I must visit. I’m probably going to most of the Smithsonian museums. I love museums. Love them.
Thanks! I’ll be back soon enough.
