so this started off as a travel blog which was much more of a guilty pleasure as i told not a soul about it... and still haven't..
so in the spirit of guilty pleasures and needing a place to write, i return to you of faithful blog nearly 5 years down the road... let's reflect on what's changed!

1. graduated
so i suppose this should be a pretty massive achievement and yet, it seems almost irrelevant to even write here... i, like millions of others, completed my bachelors degree and quickly jumped into another degree in order to prolong my life as a student and avoid the much dreaded reality of the working world... well folks, i hate to break it to you.. but eventually that all comes to an end! despite the number of degrees you manage to notch on your belt, the real world undoubtedly catches up to you and brandishes you with its banality... two degrees later and I'm still working the same job... NEXT!

2. traveled
well this should be more exciting! (especially since this was meant to be a travel blog rather than a meaningless rant) post-quebec i continued my adventurous ways touring south america (chile, peru, ecuador), living in australia for a year, back packing through new zealand, southeast asia and hong kong, attending a wedding in england, touring scotland and iceland, taking in the flashy lights of las vegas and the infinite depths of the grand canyon, a few jaunts in NYC......
next............................. INDIA!

okay.. that sounded WAY more impressive after writing it down..

3. semi-permanent address
so the URL for this blog was my imperious search for a place that i may call home in this vast world.. and though i will never admit to finding this until i truly believe that i have deep in the core of my being, i will admit for the time being, that i am happily situated in the city of toronto with my wonderful and patient roomie who has foolishly decided to join my in this journey...

sadly... three points are all i can come up with.. hopefully i will see you again before 5 more years pass...
