Commence to Rove

In the fictional words of Julie Powell, "I could start a blog! I have thoughts."

My sole New Year's resolution for 2014 is to set foot on every continent that I have not yet visited, namely Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, and Antarctica. I plan on taking a month to do it, all in one fell swoop, circumnavigating the globe in the process.

I think it's only right to document an occasion of such moment, and a blog seems appropriate. Plus, a blog could be a form of self-preservation - if, while traveling, more than a couple of days pass without a post, someone will probably notice and wonder if I'm writhing alone in a ditch in India after having been hit by a rickshaw. Or in an Argentine hospital with Typhoid. You never know.

  1. do you have an instagram? an instagram account would be easy and would totally blow up. instagrammers love world travellers. instagram was made for world travelers, basically. congratulations! that is such an exciting resolution! i'm thinking i might steal your idea in 2015 or 2016 when my current pursuits are finally accomplished.

  2. ps, i've also been obsessed with NYC and moved there first thing out of high school when i was just 18! i fully support the expensive life of big city living, it's totally, completely, and 100% worth it.
