Preface

The only thing in life that doesn’t change… is change. So when my life started to feel as though I was comfortable, it began to scare me. I then made a decision. I quit my job and said goodbye to my family, my friends and the life that I knew.

Do you ever feel like to better yourself, you need to challenge all your ideas and practises and find all that is new, exciting and unfamiliar? I guess many people like idea of comfort and contentment, but I think at this crucial period of my life as already stand at the beginning of Act 2, that I need to progress forward in a different way. So this is where the E Odyssey begins. Travel is not something I take for granted. I know that I am completely privileged to be on this path and to be able to experience other worlds and cultures. As most people on this planet struggle every day, I do not want to travel just because I can. I need to have a purpose. I do not want to go through this odyssey and feel like I was taking from places and not giving something back. I have felt that I have done this in the past and feel that it would be selfish to continue on that path.

This blog is my way to share and make sense of these experiences along the way. For without a core and means of contemplation I’m afraid all would seem lost within the chaos and exhilaration of travel. This blog is also a way for me to stay connected to the people I hold dear that are not with me everyday.

Currently I am in New York - 2 months into the new odyssey. Over the next little while, I am going to attempt to track back through the last few months as well as process the present moments. I usually work in a non-linear way, so I guess it makes sense for my life to work the same way occasionally.

My goal is to be more open, find life’s balance and look towards sustainability.
