It's so strange: Going home is proving harder than leaving it.

When I left in 2007, I was filled with anxious anticipation. I was nervous about what I would experience and how I would handle it. I was nervous about whether I could actually travel by myself in places like France, Spain and Italy. I proved I could. I proved that I could not only travel alone but make friends wherever I am. Beyond that, I proved that I could not only go to a place for a short period of time and survive but that I could become part of ...<< MORE >>

Hello? Is this thing on? *taps mike* Yeah, well, I'm back. I moved to this here spot because I wanted a broader audience while I wrote about my travels on The Blog, which had caught on the year after I started it on MySpace.

It was my goal to stay gone one year. It was my hope not to return for an indefinite period of time. For those of you who may not know, my journey carried me through the fjords in the land of the midnight sun in Norway, the ghettos of Paris along with the jardins of the Louvre, the pink sunrises, super yachts and fresh food of Antibes, the walls of ...<< MORE >>

Although I live on foreign soil, my heart and mind is back home in the States. Why? Because our impending election will shape not just our future but how the rest of the world views us.
