Welcome!

Well, hello there. Welcome to my new blog! 

It's going to be a lot of this:

 

At home I'll be quilting, knitting, baking, and generally playing with stuff.  

and a little bit of this:

As often as I can, I intend to travel and explore this big, crazy, beautiful world we live in.

While I still consider myself very much a work in progress, over the past few years I have really solidified a plan for what I want my life to be.  I want to balance the domestic comforts of home with the challenges and adventures of traveling.  I want to learn as much as I can about other cultures, geography, natural wonders, and history.  And I want to express myself creatively in many different ways.  I'm on a path to (someday, hopefully, please) become a teacher of English to speakers of other languages, which I think will be a great career to blend both of these passions.  Above all, I want to follow my bliss... at home and abroad.  And I want to encourage you to do the same!
