I began this blog about 3 & a half years ago first and foremost as a means to keep in touch with my friends but also to keep perspective as I transitioned from the "urban jungle" to the "island life". As with most things, I started with excitement and passion; certain that this would become an intimate online chronicle of my new life. The reality was a tad different. I quickly found that facebook was a much simpler and less involved way of keeping in touch with people. It's much easier to post a status update that simply says "poo! :(" rather than to coherently try and explain in prose why your day sucked. And so the blog quickly faltered.
Now I find myself at a similar juncture; moving from "island life" to "professional vagabond"; traveling the world on a journey that I hope will be as much about experiencing the new places around me as it will be about discovering the frontiers within.
Change is good and the next 6 months of my life is going to be all about it. Changing places, countries, culture, people. Changing planes, trains, buses, cars, ferries. Changing clothes, schedules, thoughts, goals. Changing perspective. And so it seems only fitting that the name of this blog change with it. I will no longer be a caribbean queen but a gypsy traveler; a child of the world. Following is what I have come up with so far. Let me know what you think or suggest your own name. What should I call the new incarnation of my blog?
Travel...in
Wanderings within
Sightseeker
Soul Drifter
