ver2go asked: Melanie! It's Emily from the Astoria apartment I shared with Hazel. I am loving all of your posts and adventures and insights, so first off thank you for sharing. I am curious what you had planned before you left for Argentina. Was a lot planned or is a lot just being swung? I'm feeling very gypsy traveler right now.. I just moved to California and am staying at my brothers but feeling...
Oh Yeah. It's Okay If Things Suck Sometimes
Life is full of ups and downs as we all know. One thing I keep forgetting, though, is that when you’re traveling, these valley and peaks of emotions are more extreme. Good days are pure exctasy and bad days…..well, bad days really freak’n suck. Not because of anything bad happening necessarily but because you keep thinking that just because you’re traveling, because...
I Kinda Like Hugs and Kisses Now
One of the things I didn’t really like about myself was how unaffectionate I was - always wanting to give and receive things like hugs but resisting them nonetheless.

I screamed out loud and tracked the perps down and blocked them, but not before really ramming it to them in the strongest language I could...

One Month in Argentina
People kept asking me why I was going to Argentina and all I could say was I’m not sure but I’ll find out. You can’t predict what a trip has in store for you or what you’re supposed to learn, you just have to go.

I’m about to write an post, as well as a guest post to a well-known external blog about this, and if need be, I will submit it to my local news organization for review, and I need for you to understand that before I proceed. This is…
“I’ve spent most of my life unconsciously trying to prove to myself that...”
– Me after an epic week here. Apparently Argentina is the place and 2012 is the year where I really have let go of old belief systems that just aren’t working for me anymore.
