i f-in love nomadlife

i dont know if ive ever expressed how incredible i think nomadlife.org is. since the summer i have branched out and begun to read the blogs of other nomaders that i dont actually know and its completely opened up the world to me. everyone's perspective is so unique and incredibly different and through nomadlife i am privy to the perspectives of those to which i wouldnt normally be exposed to. you get to read the stories of those in their home country living their daily lives, those trying to make another country their home, and those trying to make the world their home, free of country boundries. honestly its the thing that has kept me afloat upon my return to this cut-throat, out-for-yourself environment that is cornell. its sad but most people here couldnt give two shits about you let alone listen to a word you have to say and maybe learn something they may not have known before. nor do they offer their perspective in a way that could allow another to learn something new. there's no comradery; only competition. im ready for comradery like i experienced in ecuador again. or maybe comradery in a form i have yet to experience.

my only saving grace here are a few incredible friends, aiesecers, and the amazing stories on nomadlife :)

so i guess i wanted to say thank you nomaders for being you and (in the words of madison aiesecers, especially señor williams) living the dream.

and can i just point out that this is just awesome. it was the icing on the cake that inspired me to write this post :)
