Wander Log

Where I am…
Snug inside the same drafty, rambling house I grew up in & newly graduated from a little liberal arts college down river. Currently working my way towards figuring out what my answer to the daunting 'What next?' will be. It's pretty much all blue skies overhead but, then again, that's my corner of the lovely Pacific Northwest for you.

Where I want to go next…
Prague
Vienna
Istanbul
Budapest
Maastricht
... and practically anywhere in Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia

Where I’d like to return…
The Netherlands
In the unlikely event that you were not already aware, I’m rather infatuated with Amsterdam at the moment. Although I’ve been there several times already, I can never seem to get enough of the place.
The UK
In my humble opinion, London is always a good idea.
(However: Edinburgh is the arch rival of Amsterdam in my heart.)
… And I certainly wouldn’t say no to another jaunt down to Oxford, York, Bath, or Wales either!

France
 At least a weekend in Paris is mandatory, but return visits to Avignon and Lyon would also be lovely. Further explorations extending to Nice and Marseilles would assure my spiritual assent into heaven, as I could hardly want for anything else in the world again after that point.
Where I’ve been… 
 January to June 2012
In which I spent six wonderful months studying abroad in the very heart of the mid-English countryside… My favorite places to be (apart from my own little uni village, of course) were Edinburgh, London, Liverpool, and York.
