rootless; a travel blog

12.01.2012

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling,
Looking for the key to set me free,
The jealousy, the greed is the unraveling,
And it undoes all the joy that could be,

I want to have fun,
I want to shine like the sun.

- Joni Mitchell, All I Want

Wanderlust; noun.

A desire to travel, to understand one's very existence.

I've had wanderlust as far back as I can remember. Some of my first and fondest memories are of a younger me playing with kittens on a farm Switzerland at 4. Then it was going to an Indian wedding with my dad at 11. Then trekking across Canada in a Volkswagen with my mom and sister at 15.

It's memories like these I'd return to when I was miserable in 2008, going to a local University. It's then that I realized... adventure is the best way to learn. So I packed my bags and moved to Rome, where I met some of the most incredible people of my life, one being Ajda, my fellow traveler and best friend.

After completing my Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Victoria in English, I've read my fair share of tales. Now it's my turn.

4 months, 10 countries, 1 backpack. Namaste.
