At some point, you encounter enough new experiences and moments that you just can’t process things fast enough. How can you tell or know if you’re having a good time or learning something? You can’t. Or at least I can’t.
About a month ago, I stopped posting because I just couldn’t figure out what to say. In my travels, I crossed a point where I went from doing things to seeing things. How can I compare climbing a glacier with seeing the world headquarters of the United Nations? Both were interesting, but of very different ilks. The loss of my camera also took away the excitement of capturing everything possible. I became more cautious or perhaps even more censoring of my own actions. Not to mention, Geneva was the first place where I didn’t think I was having a good time, but couldn’t be sure. I decided I needed time to process it all. Perspective comes with time and by putting things away and then bringing them out again to re-examine.
So where did we leave off? I headed back from Australia and New Zealand for a few days in Houston. After that I went to Geneva for the Lift10 Conference and then 2 weeks in Spain. At the moment, I’m in El Salvador with only 2 days left before I have to go back to work. Don’t worry though, I won’t leave out the juicy details of tapas ordering, daredevil driving, and pain au chocolat.
Welcome back! Looking forward to the perspective. And the chocolat.
