The path we tread

i dont know what it is that makes me so restless, but i always feel the need to travel. its like my feet wont let me stay in one place for too long. i dont know if it was growing up in a small town reading national geographics and trying to imagine a world where there is more than corn fields and gas stations, or if there is an urgency that i've put on life to see everything i can before these eyes shut for the last time. i think it may be a combination of those things along with many others that have drawn me to so many outrageous places, and will surely take me to sights id never imagine i'd see.

i've got so many stories and adventures bottled up inside my head, that i think my memory may be full soon. but i dont want to delete any of it. im happy that at 21 years old i can say ive done many of the things ive done. from climbing the rocky mountains, to sleeping on the gulf coast of mississippi, or skipping stones on the columbia river, and riding dirtbikes in tennessee i feel like ive done enough to die happy. but like any american, what i have is just not enough.

im ready to head overseas. which in fact is my next major endeavor for those of you who dont know. i'll be spending the summer in europe doing what i love to do most. which is play music and travel. i cant begin to tell you how unbelievably happy and thankful i am for this oppurtunity. i never realistically thought i'd ever make it this far or be able to do what im about to do. so to let it be known, i am rediculiously stoked on this!

as for my future travels after the summer. who knows where i may go. or maybe i'll actually want to slow down a bit. maybe find a girl that can make me want to be home a little more, or even someone who would love to experience the outrageous things i do. but one thing is for sure, it's never planned. whatever happens will happen, and i will make the best of it. or atleast try.
