Itchy Feet

That cooped up feeling is getting me down again. I really feel the need to be in a new totally foreign place with different smells and colours and people. I feel most alive when I'm travelling - and that could be anywhere, even just out of town a few hours away. But definitely I feel the need for a bigger proper trip somewhere new on the planet.

My world has become quite small since hooking up with JD. When I lived in Germany, we holidayed here in Australia. And now that we live here, we holiday back there. Because of the restrictions of 4 weeks holiday a year the world has shrunk down to 2 countries and that feels shitty.

In a couple of months JD has got a project in Germany for several months, so I'll be joining him half way through, which is going to be cool because it's in the former East German part, which will all be new to me and also close to places like The Czech Republic and Poland and loads of interesting east German cities like Dresden and Leipzig. And we won't be far from Berlin which is one of my all time favourite cities.

So instead of travelling I've been looking through old photos and just found some from my trip tp southern Spain 2 years ago to see friends. Estapona is near Malaga, and one of the coolest things I remember was being able to see the lights in Morocco and Gibralta - I really didn't know how close to Africa Europe is down there.

I love road trips. Just taking off and discovering and seeing nature and beauty. My eyes seem
to soak everything up. Like I can see more and notice all the small details. I think I'm going
to have to organise for us to have a little weekend away somewhere very very soon.
