I would love to do something like this one day. Riding in a hot air balloon over Yangshou, nature's most preserved beauty, with a camera around my neck and a smile in between my warm cheeks.. it just sounds so right, almost natural to the ear. After I came back from a vacation well spent in Puerto Rico with my boyfriend of 2 years, I find myself more inspired and curious by the many cultures and traditions I sometimes overlook. I visited the rainforest, explored the underside of waterfalls, and swam in the most majestic seas; its something I know I could never have experienced were it not for that first step on the airplane. Traveling is an adventure in itself; I've met a number of great people on their way to a many a places, such as Miami, Paris, England, and France. Exploring my destination was an effortless effort. Although Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, I spent my time in what felt like a foreign land and discovered a small piece of what life really is all about. Questions of what's worth the pain and what's worth the pleasure dilute into the question of what makes a difference. What do I want? What do I need? What makes me, me? Am I my own revelation? This world is so beautiful and offers so much more than what meets the naked eye.. sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands and really make that first leap. And if you've found a partner to do all this with, more power to you; two observations makes one great conversation.
