I signed up to the library and started reading again. Just finished reading Dharma Bums and started on Shantaram. Trying the spend less time on the social medias and watching YouTube and doing more “productive “ activities. Would like to go on an autumn hike before it gets too cold. But since I don’t have a car I’ll have to convince some friends to join.

Bought my ticket to Africaburn today. My friend wants to do a 3 week road trip around South Africa after the event and I’m a little torn. On one hand - might as well do it since I’m going anyway. On the other - it’s honestly not a trip that’s very high on my bucket list right now. Planning to go to India for 2 months this winter and I’m not sure it’s a smart decision time/money wise to bum around Africa too. The hard part is making the decision now - more than 6 months in advance since I’d like to buy the plane tickets while they’re cheap.

Announced our 3rd annual Halloween party on Facebook yesterday. I think this year we have more than 110 people invited... I really hope they don’t all show up because we won’t fit. But it’s nice to know we have a nice friend circle :)

When traveling, or considering travel, I like to re-read Alain de Botton's "The Art of Travel".

It's a quiet, small book. Full of little smiles and pleasures and moments where you purr in happiness remembering a part of your travel history that vibes just right with some specific words or phrasing he uses...
