Greetings Friends and Fiends and Fine Fellows!
If you couldn't tell, I HAVE THE TRAVEL BUG.
This summer I am embarking on a 3 week journey that will include California and New Mexico.
My goal is to create a surreal travel journal publication using art, poetry, writing and photography inspired by my adventures.
The stops along my path are mainly determined by friend and family couch surfing opportunities.
I have plotted out open days between stops to allow for whim and chance to lead me on unplanned paths. This uncertanty is part of the excitement of these travels!
I did did a 16 day test run of this type of travel 2 years ago and it was a success. I visited places I didn't even know existed and met new people along my way. I encouraged friends to share with me their favorite local discoveries. I let the whim of exploring winding roads lure me to beautiful hidden places. I never felt more alive than I did on that journey, and it unlocked something within me. Those experiences led me to crave a similar experience, but this time I want to combine it with my art path. Rather than an 'escape' from my life, I am now diving in and making it a part of my *art* life.
I AM STARTING A NEW BLOG SPECIFIC TO THESE ADVENTURES:
