Ready for a new adventure

My love of travel really took off during my trip to Hawaii last year. Before that, I liked vacations and had even talked about moving out of state, but that week was what really pushed me over the edge. I loved the adventure, the experience, the atmosphere. We hiked to a waterfall, climbed up it, and jumped off. We surfed, kayaked, and even danced the night away... I realized that there was a whole world out there that I wasn't a part of yet. As soon as I got back from the trip, I started applying to jobs in Hawaii. (Not realistic, but I had the right idea.)

In 2010 I took 9 separate trips, each time enjoying the variety and uniqueness of the cities. I can drone on and on about each one and what a blast they were, giving a play by play (but most of my friends have already sat through that anyways). With each trip, my resolve to move became stronger. 

Why now? April 5th marked my 26th birthday. I know I know, 26 is not old, but I am the one who had a hard time with 22. When I was a teenager, I thought that I would have accomplished so much more by 25. But really, I'm just ready for a new adventure. And as the saying goes.... I'm not getting any younger!
