What a strange and odd turn of events.

So I'm pretty shell shocked.
Today I start the preperations for getting my passport, spoke with my boss about getting the time off I need for my trip, and fully came to the realization that I am actually planning a trip to Cyprus in the summer.
I have never left this continent. I have never pondered leaving this continent.
I knew travelling would be in my plans at some point, but it just never seemed like the appropriate time for me to do it... and to be quite honest, I had no desire to. I knew that I wanted to see Singapore, and the Mediterranean Sea, and the beaches of Bermuda... but I didn't forsee travel plans in the future.
And..... why not? I'm 23, people have usually travelled around to at least a few places by then.... I've only been to Colorado, Las Vegas and California. It's definetely time I check out what the rest of the world has to offer!

So yeah, I'm feeling really bizaare about this all. Super fucking excited, too, because not only am I getting a ridiculous opportunity to spend time in an absoloutely gorgeous city... but I get to do so with somebody that treats me better than anybody I have met in my life. That respects me, adores me... and most importantly - believes in me. And has most graciously offered his home to me to stay at as long as I like. This is ridiculous!!
I'm petrified! I'm planning a trip across the frickin' world!
YAY!
