After 3 years of working on the other side of the world, I'm going home.
As much as I love to travel and see new places, I'm tired. I'm tired of trying to find new jobs, new temp agencies, new places to live and new friends. I'm tired of being broke and having to rely on the bank of mum and dad just to eat. I'm just tired.
I miss summer and the beach. I really miss having my car and the ability to just drive where ever the road takes me. I miss open spaces and seeing the horizon.
I've seen some amazing things. I kissed the Blarney Stone. Crossed Carrick-a-rede rope bridge. Watched the sun set on the Aran Islands. Watched Ireland collapse and try to put itself back together again. Spent St Pat's day in Dublin pubs . Sat on the cliffs at the end of the world. Walked around a fairy ring.
I've seen London burning. I've seen London cleaning up. I've had a stranger help with my monster suitcase on the tube. I've seen strikes and protests. My first white Christmas and new year. Been in the front row for Pink at Hyde Park. Seen Elton John, Ray Davies (of The Kinks) and Paul McCartney live.
Stayed in a castle. Seen Loch Ness at sunset. Come face to face with a hairy coo. Asked what a true scotsman wears under his kilt. Gone on ghost tours. Walked the royal mile. Seen Ben Nevis when it wasn't covered in cloud.
Dublin and Edinburgh will always hold a piece of my heart.
I've seen so many things, but it's time for me to go home. I won't stop traveling. I just need to plant my feet on the ground again, so I can let my spirit soar.
