Running Away In The Name Of Creativity

Sometimes we just have a need for a change of scenery in order to get rid of those annoying creative ruts.

I write so much, but a lot of times I fail to share my ongoing projects, and even some of the finished ones. This happens when I am in a rut. I start to get restless for something new so that I can be introduced to more ideas, and then possibly gain enough confidence to share both good and bad parts of my writing with the world to simply put myself out there. I’m on a continuous line of trials to see the best ways in which my creative juices flow more easily. Sometimes I need a change of scenery in order to get back into a space of creative possibility.

So, I’ve decided to do an early #TBT and give you a look at an article I wrote specifically about travel . In it, I indicated a dream destination of mine. Looking over the article, I realize that I’m hungry to start actually traveling. Now, with all that said, I am so envisioning an international writers’ retreat in the near future.

Do you have an absolute dream destination, somewhere in the world, that you just know can make your inner travel bug sing? Is it that type of destination that elevates the levels of the wanderlust inside you, as you picture being in the midst of the place of your choice? Whether or not you have a vision of traveling the world at all, I bet we all agree that travel guides, and helpful tips hold a special place in making some world experiences—or the moments in your dream destination—worthwhile, meaningful, and enjoyable.
Queue your desire to explore and your willingness to learn things about areas of the world you want to see. Enter, Wandershare: The online, Word-press-powered, travelers’ fairy godmother. Personally, I acquired knowledge of Wandershare through Pinterest. As an avid pinner, I began to notice many nicely-organized infographics. Peep the one, here. South Africa is, actually, one of the places I would be honored to visit. My list of dream destinations changes sometimes, but the desire to learn and explore remains.

I really appreciated the large amount of countries they put in the spotlight, and the sort, sweet way in which they seemed to deliver these tips. Helpful little graphics accompanied succinct guidelines on important documents to bring, vaccinations, foods to try, appropriate manners, and more. I wondered to myself, “Who does these?” Then, Wandershare’s web address reared its head in all of its .com glory, after my Google search. “Found it!”
The Wandershare site brings forth a feast for the eyes of the traveler—the site menu features a large, organized list of over 100 countries. Upon selecting a link to any one of the countries—and I know you’ll love it—you will be met with a visually-pleasing multitude of categories, lined-up like a nice mosaic of square panes, that all serve the purpose of gifting your inner travel bug with helpful gems.

The straight-forward travel guides you will encounter provide answers to the questions many of us would have, such as: “What do I need to be admitted into the country?”, “What do you recommend I see or do during my stay?”, “How do I stay connected?”, “What things do I need to do in order to respect the culture?”, and so much more. It touches bases that are meant to make you—the traveler—more comfortable as you prepare to take that trip, fine-tune your know-how, polish your own itinerary, and create quite a ‘local’ experience to help fulfill your travel vision.

Basically, the travel guides, tips, and infographics that Wandershare provides us are substantive and are a reflection of the fact that you deserve to be thoroughly informed as a traveler and to be safe, have fun, and enjoy your dream destination.

“See further. Go farther.” - Wandershare

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
