It has dawned on me that each of my blog posts takes far too long to deliver. At this rate, by the time I finish writing about my trip around Europe, spring may have come and gone—and come around again. I suddenly realized this simply isn’t sustainable (have I realized this a little too late?). So I’ve decided! Every week, I’ll share one photo and a short story from my travels. You probably won’t see famous attractions, and the photos may not be especially beautiful or spectacular, but each one will capture an unforgettable memory or a small realization. The stories won’t follow any chronological order, and they won’t be limited to my independent travels around Europe—they may also take you back to my working holiday in Australia or anywhere else I’ve visited, including Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore... and beyond.

Travel is living somewhere else, and life is traveling in one place. So even though I’ve abandoned my blog more than once, at the start of 2013 I still want to spend some time sorting through and absorbing—or digesting—the madness of these past few days, while continuing to record the wonderful moments in life. That’s why, with absolutely no sense of my own limitations, I made this one-in-a-million impossible wish. But whatever happens, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm.” It may have bugger-all to do with my situation, but I believe my current enthusiasm will eventually lead me to success, and that my renewed ambition to blog will still accomplish its mission.
