The Islands Manifesto

Someone close to me recently put this forward and as much as I am off trying to find myself, I think she summed up beautifully what I actually want to do and be.



"We should travel the world. Who cares where we end up or how long we stay.

We should have engaging conversations with as many as possible, in as many languages as we possibly can. Not just regular run of the mill conversations, but real ones, where we suggest overthrowing governments and banishing poverty.

We should eat like locals, provided it doesn’t kill us.
We should find as much good music and continue to look, never stopping for “regular main stream” stuff.

We should take photos. Many many photos. And send post cards and hand written letters to people “back home,” wherever that may be.

We should not regret, or doubt, or think for too long about any decision.

We should read, a lot. And discuss it over beer.

I’m ready to travel the world. It really is our oyster."



I agree Em, let's go.
