“I do believe it’s time for another adventure…”
Whether they fill up our pinterest boards, are written on t-shirts, or even tattooed on bodies (side note: neither Kez or I have tattoos) travel quotes can be found anywhere. But that’s the beauty of them, is that they appeal to a wide variety of people, reminding us of our favourite adventures or getting us excited on the next one.
While I have my fair share of travel quotes I love, the one above is a particular favourite. A gift from my aunt, this quote is screenprinted on a pillow that sits on one of the couches in my living room and serves as a daily reminder of the urge to always see more of the world. It reminds me that time is something we have so much of, yet so little of. That while I’ve been fortunate to explore other countries before, there is so much more to see. That truly, there is no better time then now to take an adventure.
The timing was perfect, I had just completed six years of design school alongside four years of working in the design field. With hardly any slowing down, I was constantly busy, tuned into my computer (these blog posts get to be an exception) getting antsy and ready for a change. My mind had wandered to a few different ideas, from oversea internships to volunteering. While I haven’t completely shut out those ideas for the future, I knew I needed to take a trip that truly meant exploring, enjoying different cultures, and maybe even a siesta or two.
For me, Spain has always intrigued me, a country filled with so much history, passion, and curiosity. Originally I had hoped to do a semester overseas in Spain four years ago at my first university, but plans and life had changed that decision. Now, with more life changes happening, it was time to make my way over there.
Luckily, travel talks with Kezia started to put the plans in motion. Both creative minds, it seemed like a great fit to make this happen. With multiple conversations over cups of tea, we decided to do it. Here we are, three months after booking our plane tickets and three days until we leave, we’ve added Portugal and Morocco into the mix, dreamed of the sights we want to see, the tapas we want to devour, and the incredible people we are going to meet.
let’s do this.
