A Brief Introduction

Hello, happy to see you here :) I'm Trevor, and welcome to my little corner of the digital world where I share anything that inspires me and gives me joy. I'm at that stage in my life that is simultaneously full of excitement and anxiety, and I think I can benefit a lot from creating an outlet to write down my thoughts and experiences!

At the moment, I'm on my second semester of my year abroad at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, so the blog (side note - I cringe at that word. Can we call it an 'online journal' instead?) will be devoted to my travels around Europe for these next few months. It might evolve into different subject areas when I get back home, though. My travel writing will be decidedly narrative-driven rather than just "Top 10 Things to Do in x City", although I will probably write some posts like that for the 'just get to the point' people. I'll also write some posts about myself in general (why I love to travel, what kind of traveler I am, general interests, etc.) to help understand the perspective and background I'm coming from.

I like to think I'm mostly journaling for myself, and that's partially true - it's a wonderful way to channel your creativity in a deeply personal way. But I would also love to use this journal as a very symbiotic space to interact with others. I know it might not seem like the most riveting thing in the world to read about some random college kid's semester abroad, but I know there are people who can share my experiences. If you're scared of traveling alone, or if you're a young adult who's anxious about the future - hi, me too! Let's be friends! And if you just want some travel inspiration, welcome aboard. I arrive at first destination, Germany, in two days (!) so I can't wait to see you then!
