Wanderlust. A strong desire to travel. Or.. Escapism?

Either way, it's something which helps open the tunnels of energy and replenish the soul.

You will learn so much more about who you are, what you are capable of and these memories will stay forever with you.

There is such a strong pull toward leaving the UK and never coming back here again. Everything within me tells this so strongly I can almost reach for it before me. Exciting, frustrating, confusing!

Exploring unknown cities, towns, seascapes, mountains... the whole shabang. The cravings and needs are there but its almost too overwhelming to know where to even begin. Planning isn't something I've been particularly good at the past couple of years so I have a feeling this will be totally spontaneous as everything else in my life appears to be lately.

Going back to my roots and where I was brought into this life is a definite. Hong Kong, the city that never sleeps. You can leave HK, but I don't think it ever leaves you. Wise words from Journalist Nury Vittachi, something which I've seen and felt from many people, including my parents and best friends. My parents met here, got together here, and had my sister and I here. The photo below shows an image of where I was born. Not your average hospital eh? Keen to go back!

Somewhere also with access to the slopes, but also the Sea. I cannot imagine not living by the sea... or very close to it. Somewhere with sunshine, good vibes and a wonderfully vast and different culture to the UK.. who know's where I'll be in a couple of years time? I know what it is I want, just not where.

Does everything happen for a reason? Or, is coincidence? Or luck? Whichever, every path we take teaches us something. When one door closes, another opens. And so on. I want to believe and remain this belief that everything happens for a reason.

It is said that every six months your body essentially recreates itself. Almost every cell of skin, hair and bone dies and another is replaced in its position. You were not who you were last November. - Donald Miller (A million miles in a thousand years, What I learn't whilst editing my life.)

This is a refreshing thought. Just like a snake sheds its skin (ew!), we regrow and change too.

Maybe I'll be blogging from the other side of the world sooner than I anticipate, or maybe somewhere closer to home. New place, new start!

Is there anywhere you have in mind for a fresh beginning, somewhere you've always dreamed of but have yet to achieve this goal?
