Satori
Embark on a Journey
Picture this: Sitting a cafe, listening to the sounds of the city, sipping an overpriced dairy and sugar free coffee, and wondering if this is really it. Surely your great, existential epiphany is coming, right?
I'm Melissa - my life was a hamster wheel of work, stress (caused by said work), doctor's appointments (as a result of said stress) and the occasional exhaustion-induced full-night's sleep. I was bored but exhausted. Tired but not sleeping. Craving something more but not knowing what "more" was.
As a perpetually curious, passport-wielding, single woman, I decided I would try wandering the world in search of satori—that elusive flash of enlightenment. I stepped off the hamster wheel and selfishly stepped onto the path of discovering who I was, what I wanted and what would fulfill me.
Make no mistake, I still panic over Wi-Fi signals and whether I left my curling iron on. But I do believe moments can hold magic—the kind that sneaks up on you between flights, mispronounced menu orders, and spontaneous conversations with strangers.
This blog? It’s where I chronicle the joys, misadventures, and occasional existential musings of a solo traveler trying to live fully in the now. Expect plenty of wit, a dash of sarcasm, a hunger for adventure and absolutely no pretense of having life figured out.
So, if you're into stories about chasing clarity while tripping along the way (and maybe stumbling upon some magic), stick around. The journey’s just getting interesting.
