This entire crazy idea all came about as I sat behind a glass window helping guests as they visited Walt Disney World. As a Guest Relations hostess, I met people from all over the world. They had amazing stories, interesting facts, sometimes questionable fashion decisions, and a world full of knowledge. I came to realize that although I LOVED my job in Guest Relations, I would never get a chance to just pick up and travel while working for a large corporation. When I went back to the pixie-dusting horror known as the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for a week, I realized that life was just too darn short to sneeze pixie-dust 24/7. So, I quit. I packed up my life in Florida, moved home with my parents and decided I needed to see the world.
The past few months of my life have consisted of skiing. Just skiing.... Nordic, Alpine, AT, you name it.... I became a ski bum, and it was GLORIOUS. Until now.... This lovely mud season has ruined the ski bum life. This time of year literally everyone evacuates town because it's gloomy and gross and you can't ski because there is not enough snow, but you can't hike because there is too much, you can't bike because it's too muddy, etc etc etc. So, now I'm following the rest of the locals out of town. Far out of town. Like other side of the world out of town. *cue theme music*
Tomorrow, I start an adventure that I hope will be nothing short of amazing. I leave for Europe for six weeks. My plans are completely slapped together at the last minute, but I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! (I guess that's all you can do when you purchase a ticket less than three weeks before it leaves.....) But in any case, I guess the only thing left to say is: Adventure is out there!!!!!
Caw-caw RAWR!
Love, Alison
