Again, I want to apologize for not writing as much lately. I guess I just haven't been going on as many adventures as I would have liked in the past month or so, but that's mostly because I have been saving every penny for my next trip (I'm leaving today for Cairns!). I wouldn't say life has been completely boring the past few weeks... I've just had a lot more personal things going on that aren't exactly the most appropriate to express in blog form. After chatting with a friend last week, she told me she hopes that I keep a journal in addition to this blog, to keep track of the experiences of this year that I'd rather not broadcast on the internet - and I definitely am. One of my life goals is to write a book, a memoir, and I guess you could say I've been dedicating some of my time to that writing process. I found this really awesome list of 65 books you need to read in your 20's and have been perched in my lawn chair in the backyard every afternoon, making it my mission to read every memoir on the list, because you know you can't write well unless you can read well. So I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to show you all how not-boring my life has been, even when my Wanderlust seems to be lacking.

As I mentioned, I am headed to the airport in a couple hours with my nanny friends Kelsey and Jordan as we make our way up to Cairns. We are going to spend the rest of the week exploring rain forests and playing with sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef. I PROMISE to have some exciting stories to share next week!
