Hrmm this is a first for me. I cannot say I'm a great writer or what exactly my intentions are (or how to keep anyone interested in reading this blog), but for the rest of my life I fully intend to travel as much as I can and since my memory is absolutely terrible, documenting my trips might be a good idea...
I feel the pressure to be creative, even starting with the blog name... Nadia's Nomad Travels? Seriously? That's the best I could do? I kinda feel like a fake... I'm not REALLY a nomad... I own an apartment in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, and I have a full time job that will keep me here (for now). Fake fake fake. BUT! I love the idea of being a nomad and although I do have this "permanent" residence, I don't (and probably never will) feel like "home" means where I'll be the rest of my life. In the past 23 years, I've had multiple "homes" in 11 countries and each time I'm comfortable with the change. I've loved each place I've called home and likewise, I love Cincinnati, but have no intention of staying here forever -- "no permanent abode" is in the definition for nomad on dictionary.com... guess it fits after all.
So we'll see how this goes. Hopefully, after time, I won't feel this pressure to be creative and it'll just come naturally (ehhh?). I know there's a bajillion blogs out there of people documenting their love to travel, so I can't promise this will have anything to make it stick out and be special, but maybe along the way I'll find a purpose :)
Guess not so "wee" after all. Anywho. So the documentation of my travel addiction starts!
