Amsterdam, Netherlands

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home,
sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
the heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of its own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.

--Grateful Dead

About Me: 2013
I'm moving to Amsterdam in January. So expect train trips to Bruges, Paris, and beyond!

2012 TRAVELING...
So far this year is all about Canada. I spent a week on the south shore of Nova Scotia in June and went up to Toronto in July and November. Otherwise, I am really focused on enjoying NYC, especially Brooklyn.


TRAVEL PLANS for 2011
- New Orleans. I was there just for a few nights to attend a conference, but it was a really good time nonetheless. The last time I was there was 9 days before Hurricane Katrina.

- San Francisco is checked off, sadly. I was only there for a few days and wish it had been longer (a lifetime, even). I guess I'll just have to put it back on the list. I actually spent only three hours in the city itself and instead fell in love with Alameda and Oakland.

Genoa -- more info about this trip to come. My friend and I headed out there for another friend's wedding!

Vietnam -- This was the big trip! And it was amazing. I recommend Vietnam to anyone looking for a place for easy traveling, good food, and sooo many things to see and do (but not too many -- it's still a relaxing place).

More About eyesoftheworld

I travel because...
staying in the same place all the time is terrifying.
I love to travel to...
New England, USVI, Canada.
I never forget to pack...
too much. I'm working on that though, because I do think it is a travel fault of mine.
My weirdest travel habit is...
sometimes enjoying the plane or train ride as much as (or more than) the destination.
It's my dream to travel to...
Russia, Lebanon, Tierra del Fuego, Mexico City, Seattle, and British Columbia. Vietnam is on the list for this summer!

Justifications...
Mexico City has the most museums out of any major city in the world, and electronic music is a big deal (two of my favorite things!)
Lebanon... because of the history there, and the food, and the beach, and the mountains.
Tierra del Fuego's appeal is its harsh and striking beauty.
When I'm not traveling...
I make mini-explorations in NYC and work here at IgoUgo!
