Hello, Hong Kong

by Brenna Holeman

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Well, I arrived. And the first thing I thought was that Asia feels more like home than North America did – what a strange feeling. And after a good night’s sleep, a ferry ride or two, some sightseeing, and a great Chinese dinner, I am once again realizing just how natural it feels to be doing this, to live almost perpetually on the road. It’s where I belong.

Kisha – Thank you! I do tend to write quite short posts, I think it’s because I never am online for very long; I’m glad you like them, though!

Melissa Sue – Thanks! In March I’ll be in India. Where will YOU be??

Oneika – I’m only here until Tuesday afternoon! I already have a full day planned for Monday; it’s too bad we couldn’t have arranged to meet up! It would have been great to have had a local on my side…

Love those last couple lines. Definitely had some similar feelings on my last trip, even though it was a rough one. Traveling just feels natural. You’re kinda making me want to bolt right now 😛

Thanks, Ekua! You know I’m totally going to advocate bolting. Who needs responsibilities?!

I’m not sure where yet – thinking about back to Cambodia, with a few side trips about SE Asia. Not India though. Close but no cigar 😉
