A year ago I’d never even heard of Počátky, a small town in the highlands of the Czech Republic. For the past six months I’ve called this little village home. The one thing I’ve learned is: when you’re open to travel and to doing exactly what you want to do, life gets a little unpredictable. I have no idea where I’ll be in a year from today and I’m becoming okay with that.
2011 was a rough year for me, with the devastating earthquake in my home town and being stabbed in rural Indonesia, so Počátky has been the perfect place to deal with my emotions and find my feet again. I’m going to be sad to say goodbye, but I’m ready for some new adventures.
In two weeks I’ll be in London finally seeing what all the fuss is about.
Then I’ll be popping into LA to meet up with a best friend and heading Coachella where I’ll be staying in a Los Angeles vacation rental. If time allows I’ll shimmy to Mexico – the allure of cheap Tequila and actual Mexican food is too strong.
At the end of April I’ll be heading to New Zealand for my first holiday at “home” – I left in July so I’m very excited about seeing all my friends and family. I might be a little (read: very) biased, but I think New Zealand is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, so I’m excited to be exploring it after so much time away.
Hong Kong was the first foreign city I ever visited, but it was a twenty four hour stop over so I never even brushed the surface. This time around I have five days to explore the sites and sounds of the city that first ignited the wanderlust flame.
If you have any suggestions of things I must do in the countries I’m visiting, I’d love to hear them!
