A travel lover’s
journey through
life’s ups and downs.

Destination: Happy Place
Where’s Yours?

I don’t know about you but I love a good “to-do” list. There is something truly satisfying about firmly pressing pen to paper, striking through whatever task you’ve accomplished. It’s the adult equivalent of earning the smiley face sticker on your homework back when you were a kid. Some of us (and you know who you are) even add ridiculously simple things to our list just for that extra dopamine boost that comes from crossing them off. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

"My mind is full of wonderings now. I wonder if pelicans make any sound. I don’t want to Google the answer. It’s not about knowing the answer. It’s about letting myself stay in wonder.

Having no answers empowers me somehow.” – D’ana Baptiste “Rebirth” (a series of blog posts) featured in Why We Left: An Anthology of American Women Expats by Janet Blaser
