Things I Want to Do: Travel
It’s been a little while since I posted a new, Things I Want to DO. I haven’t forgotten, I have just been to busy DOING the Things I Want to DO! I am happy to report my Danish studies have been going well and for those of you who pay attention to my blogging efforts, you’ve probably noticed I have been posting a whole lot more on all five blogs, Yes, I now have 5 active blogs! I started a new site, NYCLookBook this week. It’s a street photo blog of NYC fashions. While this project wasn’t on my list per se, I was motivated to start it after putting more work into my blogging ‘empire’. So it seems that my TIWTD posts are actually stimulating me to doing some of the things I have been meaning to do for a long time.
This week’s Things I Want to DO is Travel. I shot this photo about two weeks ago. It’s one of the first TIWTD, I wrote this one the same day I wrote and photographed the other TWITD posts. At that time I had no plans to go anywhere. I had decided to postpone my return to Copenhagen out of a desire to stay put in NYC for the fall and winter. While I yearn to have a bit more stability (staying in one place for awhile) I couldn’t help feel that little travel bug wiggling inside me, itching to go somewhere. After a casual chat with my friend Dan about the possibility of him attending Copenhagen Design Week with me, a trip started to form. And with the departure of some beloved Danish friends, we both decide to ‘just do it’.
And just like that, I am headed back to Copenhagen, with a possible side trip to Berlin. Three weeks in cozy Copenhagen; riding my bike, visiting with friends and attending design conferences. We do have plans to do some sightseeing (Dan has never been to CPH) and to see a rock show or two (thanks to Anders). Most of all I am excited to be back to my European lifestyle, even if it is for a brief stint this time. I am also eager to show Dan around what i affectionately call my ‘second home’. It’s been great fun blending together my American and Danish friends. I feel fortunate both seem to like the other equally well. My friend calls me the glue that binds us all together, I take pride in that sentiment!
So another TIWTD accomplished. Am I unwittingly petitioning the universe with my To Do List? Or is the act of expressing my desires a trigger to motivate me into action? I choose to believe it is a little of both. :-> Bon Voyage to me!
