A New Direction

          I have decided to redefine the purpose of this blog. I have changed the title from "Let's be spontaneous" to "Adventure Awaits." I now want to specifically address my adventures - mostly dealing with travel and nature exploration. I recently realized how great some of my experiences truly are and how they help me appreciate life more. They have also shaped me into the person I am today which I'm truly grateful for. I would like to keep a record of them so I can re-visit my stories in the future and remind myself how tremendously great it is to be alive. I always thought it was crazy how every single person you meet, every task you involve yourself in, every path you take, all lead to how you perceive the world. Life is full of possibilities. It's hard to focus on how amazing we have it when the typical lifestyle is to multitask and rush through the weeks, constantly using the phrase "Where has the time gone?" I'm hoping that by recording all of these experiences, I can take some time to step back and appreciate the opportunities I'm given and embark on as many adventures as possible. Here we go :)

P.S. I really want to include something I have on a post-it note on my wall:

Five Simple Rules for Happiness:

                                               1. Free your heart from hatred

                                               2. Free you mind from worries

                                               3. Live simply

                                               4. Give more

                                               5. Expect less

          I realize this post seems very zen-esque. I love thinking about this stuff and really pondering it. It puts my brain into overdrive so to speak. Challenge your mind. It needs a good work out every now and then :) To add onto that, if anyone ever wants to sit down with a nice cup of coffee (or other preferred drink that makes you pensive) and discuss worldy ideas, PLEASE contact me! I love having deep conversations. The opinions and views of others intrigue me, especially when it's something I haven't thought about. This is why I love to travel so much and immerse myself in other cultures. It's eye-opening!
