Waking up in a New Place

Waking up in a new place is one of the most amazing feelings in the world. There are endless possibilities. Some associate the unknown with fear, personally, I welcome it with curiosity. This curiosity of finding out what else is out there, is one of the most thrilling things to me. How wonderful that there is so much out there to explore. I find beauty in most things. So think about how much beauty in the world that you haven’t seen? What a beautiful thought. The beauty you see everyday, another person has never experienced. In all we take for granted in a day to day setting, someone else could be inspired by. These are some of the exact reasons I love to travel. There are so many beautiful things that my own eyes haven’t seen. Things that I must see! My wanderlust currently is Thailand. I can’t get it off my mind! Such a funny thought that there might be a girl there thinking the same thing about California, U.S. A place that I love and get to see the beauty of each day. If only time travel existed where I could switch places at this very moment. If only! Two summers ago, I stayed in L’ Escala, Spain with my father. As we were driving back from Nice, France we were exhausted from the drive and decided to stay in a small town on the coast. It was dark and we were in need of some serious sleep and stopped to stay at a small hotel. We went straight to bed and awoke to the sound of the water in the morning. I will never forget waking up and peering off of the balcony. This was my view in the picture attached. It was such a beautiful place to wake up in the morning. Somewhere unplanned that in my memory is one of my favorite places. Maybe it was being with great company, my best friend/father or just the summer breeze, but I was so happy at this moment. Traveling with ones you love, gives you a luxury of comfort, where you don’t have to worry as much about safety. You can just relax and be present where you are. We walked along the coast and through market after market. I made purchases for my little sister and goddaughter from local women. It is a small fishing town that is a wonderful place to stay, with perfect sandy beaches. There are only 10,000 inhabitants, giving you a uniquely authentic experience. I encourage you to stop in the towns along the way, the ones in-between the huge cities like Barcelona and Nice. Often these are the cities that are overlooked, but are the most wonderful places to wake up to.
