I’ve never been able to keep a diary. I remember wanting to though. I have too many notebooks to count, but all are empty, save for a page or two. Hopefully this blog won’t become another empty collection of (electronic) pages.
As an aspiring journalist, I feel that I need this one. I need to promote myself, I guess. Push my ideas and find my voice? Something like that. Although, truth be told, this most likely won’t last very long. I’m into it now. I’m excited to upload pictures, share my travel stories and see who will actually care to read my thoughts. But who knows? If you’re reading this right now, consider yourself lucky. Lucky that I haven’t lost interest. Or, lucky that I have yet to figure out how to delete this thing. Either, or.
The main reason I’ve started a blog is that I’m currently studying in Utrecht, The Netherlands until the end of December. I’m going home to Montreal for about 2 weeks for Christmas (if I’m lucky) and then I’ll be off again – this time to Aarhus, Denmark until mid-June. So far a lot has happened. I’ve seen and experienced a whole lot, but there’s so much more to come. Paris, Bristol, Alexisonfire in Glasgow, Brussels pt. 2, and Berlin all await me in the next few months.
And hopefully when everything happens, I won’t have tucked this blog away into a dusty, forgotten drawer. If I’m to break old habits, why not do so while over 3,000 miles from home?
