What is thoughts to things anyway?


90 days after deciding to make this world tour a reality, the apartment was rented, the boxes were packed, the furniture sold and our phones scheduled to be disconnected. Beyond one evening of plotting potential destinations with a big world map and a bottle of wine, there was little forethought as to how the year would come together; just a quiet sureness that if we kept moving towards where we wanted to go, we would get there- or at least create an unforgettable journey.

if you can think it, you can create it.

And so was the start of thoughts to things. If it can be a thought, a dream, a desire- it can become an experience. And the more we step out and un-stick ourselves from the lives we know, the more we will ourselves in the direction of our choosing. For the next 52 weeks, we are in search of the following: heart-stirring, soul-filling, just made my day, can't stop smiling adventures.

This blog is a snapshot of these moments- the ones that are often indescribable except to say they grabbed my heart and held on. 

As Gibran once wrote, "I want every image to be the beginning of an unseen image."

To a remarkable year. A year of thoughts to things.
