On
Christmas morning, I woke up to an instagram notification on my phone from
Raven, one of my awesome friends. She had tagged me on a Travel Noire picture.
Although I missed out on the awesome travel deal for a plane ticket to Abu
Dhabi, this was the beginning of a spark. It’s no secret that I have a love
affair with travel. And although I feel like I neglect my inner nomad, I am
determined to make 2015 a year of travel and it beginnings with a ski trip in
Colorado January 1st.
In the
meantime, I have signed up for so many travel hack sites and newsletters, I’m
bound to get to India sooner rather than later. Part of missing out on the Abu
Dhabi deal was because I’m some what of a chicken when it comes to the idea of
solo travel. That’s okay, I’m going to fix that real quick like! I had
initially planned on St. Louis, but I’ve nixed that idea and now I’m full speed
ahead to Boston! Yes, I’m pretty spastic and random at times…a lot of times. This
is no different. I had an idea of a place, I changed my mind…go with it! Heck,
I may end up somewhere else besides Boston. As long as I do it solo and get
over the mountain of fear, that’s what matters.
There may
be a NYC trip in between skiing and Boston. You never really know with me and I
wouldn’t have it any other way. I see google flights browsing in my 2015
future. God willing, I will have the most amazing year of my life in 2015,
complete with ups and downs I’m sure.
The sky
looks limitless and the possibilities endless.
