the finish line

[amw]

Thank Christ, i made it. Well, i didn't really make it yet. It's Friday afternoon before i move and i haven't planned out mail redirection (i don't even know if you can do it in Germany), i still have a mattress and a rug and two desk lamps that are unaccounted for, and i am not entirely sure if the weather is warm enough that i can wash and dry

Please update whenever you can while you're travelling; I want to hear about your adventures.

Certainly! The first two posts are in. It is so much more relaxing writing when I am on holiday...

Yeah, I've been following along. Loving the photos and your style of commentary.

Our lives are so different, yet - oddly - you speak and live in such a way that I relate. In particular, through your posts, I'm seeing my own relationship to "stuff" as I haven't before

I think it's really fascinating how very attached people get to their things. I do understand it - I think it's very human. Sometimes I feel like I am broken somehow because I do not have that connection, but then I consider that there were also many nomadic cultures who just carried their homes with them and followed the seasons and the food. And there were always pilgrims and explorers too. So I guess there is room for all sorts

your colleagues really stepped up in the going-away-gift department. a solar panel charger sounds super useful.

safe travels! i too want to know what you're up to when you're on the road.

IKR? I felt really guilty at how much they must've spent. I hope I paid it forward, though, giving all of my stuff away. Travel journaling is locked and loaded btw :) It's nice to finally have time to just write.
