london, england

i'm in the process of my next slew of world travels. i landed in london today with an odd sense of melancholy yet an optimistic outlook. now i am not sure how this is possible, but its the case.

in a few hours i will board a plane and head to a country i have never been to before--italy. once there i have hopes of tracking down my parents (i have an address and everything)and visiting the sistine chapel. after a few short days in the city i will be heading to spoleto in umbria. then my parents leave me and i go to paris, one hundred percent alone. something i have never done before. i have never traveled anywhere completely alone yet i am glad to be doing it now. its quite the excitement.

once i have paris conquered alone i can handle anything. maybe not. but nonetheless i think i can and that in the end is all that matters. heres to travel and seeing new things.
