Leaving ... or is it coming back?

Happy new year and greetings from Liberec, Czech Republic. After 16 months I have finally packed my bags and on December 30th said goodbye to the United States and got on the plane back to Europe. The flight was ok ... even the food was good (although a lady across the aisle from me was still secretely chewing on a hamburger she brought w/ her).

So what's next? 2 months of franatic work on my thesis and then Kenya - I have just bought my air ticket today. I am excited. My parents are freaked out - as usual.

I have to admit, leaving all my friends in the US was breaking my heart and I was getting unsure whether the great features of being a traveler are worth the constant leaving behind those you love. But I guess sooner or later my travels will become more of coming back than leaving. So hang in there, all my friends around the world.

I will be back....everywhere.
