Saar. 24. Travels. Writes. Does that make her a travel-writer? Not just yet. Loves to bring all her beloved ones, earthly and heavenly creatures, along on her trip. Will try to do so by dropping notes, posting pictures, videos, writing stories. A.k.a.: sharing her experiences. Don't feel like reading from a screen? Just wait for the book to get published! (*Wishful thinking*)
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Life, as it is
Two weeks in The Netherlands. I knew it was going to be short. But that it would fly by like it has?
I think I have been too busy to miss Thailand, too busy to even hear myself think at times. I am enjoying all the things that I am doing and have been doing, but it’s also like I’m living in a bit of a bubble.
It’s called: ‘Everything before life in Canada begins’.
Being with Ash, moving to North America, has been on my mind for so many months…that it is hard to live in the present moment at times. I don’t forget to ‘be’, but I do notice it is about time I get my ass over there. There’s a thin line between ‘long’ and ‘too long’, and I’m not sure when/where you cross it..
I am staying with lovely Petra and her boyfriend, Marcel, at the moment. We have been working on our new project, that makes us jump up and down around the room at times. It is such an awesome feeling to tap straight in to your own passion. Even more so when you get to do it together with the sweetest bestie on the globe.
Two more days, and I’ll fly to New York. I’m still not sure how much time I will be spending there, since Ash want to visit the city in February. (And it’ll be way nicer to go together, nay?) We’ll see, I sort of like the excitement of arranging stuff at the very last moment (not that I have had a lot of time to sort stuff out anyways), trusting the universe to throw cool stuff at me.
I am very grateful. For being able to spend loads of time with my mum. For taking time to sort out my stuff and arrange what ‘needs to be arranged’. For getting to stay with her and her boyfriend, seeing his house for the very first time. For sitting next to mum, while she talks to Ash on Skype - for the very first time, and see both of them love it. Happy tingles. For meeting up with my brother and getting to know his world a little bit, again. For the phone-call of my auntie yesterday (I know you are reading this, now), that moved me deeply. For everything that I have put in my backpack, and I’m not just talking material here.
There is not enough time to pay a visit to everybody I would want to see, but I feel a great and strong connection with all of you out there. It might just be love. Being (more) at ease with myself. I hope you get some sparkles out of that as well, far - or closer by.
I’ll keep you guys posted about everything I’m doing, over here, as usual. We’re planning to release our new website on Valentine’s day, so stay put for that.
And where it comes to meeting up… I’ll be back. Some day. (I’ll need a new passport next year ;) Or you can just come my way, KLM Werelddeal weken ftw - 499 euro to get to Toronto, anyone?)
