Lately, I’ve been thinking about how awesome it would be for my fiance and I to just pack up all of our stuff and go. Maybe buy an RV (vintage winnebago anyone?). I want to just drive, see what other parts of the country look like and then at the end, just pick a random place to live for a while.
I was sitting here, reading up on new blogs (I joined 20SB, are you there? Add me!), and for some reason I had to chuckle to myself thinking about just moving where ever I want to.
I’ve done it.
I’ve uprooted myself twice in the last year and a half. I’ve moved to new places, new cities, new states.
I’ve had the adventure.
And I miss home (Chicago!).
And yet…The idea of being a wanderer, a traveler and just being able (ie- financially) to move to a random state whenever I want? Love it.
I’ve dreamed for years of seeing the world, I used to say that I want to set foot on every continent before I die (what a dream right?! And that included Antarctica, which, I’ll admit…looks amazing and beautiful and I want to go there.) I want to be a hippie, a gypsy…someone who has few possessions, wanders from town to town. Enjoys the sun, the wind on the highway. Camping (occasional hotels so I can have a real bed and shower!), seeing the little corners of the world that are peaceful, that are bliss.
I keep complaining to my fiance that I want to settle though. I hate being an apartment dweller. Having to move every year, just as you get settled in and start to real feel like home. I haven’t done much decorating in our current place because I feel so temporary here, I hate it.
Maybe I just want one or the other. I want to settle and own a house, or own nothing but an RV and what fits inside and just go everywhere. Yes. One or the other. (honestly, I don’t know which, if either, are attainable to me.)
I want the adventure of uprooting myself and going somewhere completely new with my fiance. I lived in Boston alone and now I’m living in Pittsburgh area with my fiance, but this is where he grew up. I want us to go somewhere, experience new things and new cities together.
A girl can dream, right?
♥What’s your dream? Have you ever thought about uprooting yourself, do you want to travel? Do you like being an apartment dweller?
