A year ago I returned from abroad - a little homesick and just in time for my mom's birthday - with greater self-knowledge and appreciation for global perspectives. I went from being more of an extrovert to an introvert. I invested my time and energy, through volunteer and work, into things I enjoyed. And I had less desire for material possession.
These are just some of the ways I changed but the most gripping is my lust for travel. There is a whole world out there and I want to experience so many facets of it. Being grounded and committed to a job I like has started to have a mental toll. It hasn't gotten monotonous yet but I worry that it might.
So I've taken a week off - June 28 to July 6 - and bought a ticket to Washington, DC as well as return flight from Boston, MA! I have never been to the capital of the United States and I look forward to getting lost. While on the other hand, I am excited to see familiar faces from the friends I made last time I was in Boston and doing some hiking in New Hampshire if weather allows.
