Recent, as well as Up and coming jaunts, you ask?
...Those of you who KNOW me, know though, that my heart tugs me towards India. It's a restless sensation in my soul. Maybe, just maybe, we'll make a go of getting THERE. That, would make my life. Not my day, my life. I don't know, stay tuned... 2007 has FLOWN by hasn't it? India/Nepal is just DAYS AWAY. I can't imagine what this journey will be like, can't even begin to fathom it. I want to live, learn, eat, shop, and as always come home changed/enlightened in some way.
**Just over a year ago I was roaming the souks of Magical
Marrakesh... with stops in
Madrid both ways for a touch of tapas, I'm happy to say! Marrakesh seemed to enlighten and inspire me more than any other place I've ever travelled to... I want to implement my experiences and time there in to my daily life, I want to continue to feel close to that place. A mental overhall, a sensory awakening, a new aesthetic vision.
MARRAKESH.
