As Tate and I are counting down the days until we leave for China, I can't help but feel the itch and excitement to get out and explore new places. I haven't read Into the Wild in several years, but sometimes I think about Chris McCandless' adventure in the wild. Adventures are good for the man's soul. I stumbled upon this quote he wrote in his journal and then I had to hand letter it. Totally not perfect lettering but it was fun anyways (although I do want to practice more!).
p.s. Things changed up around here! New blog look for the new year ;)
I love this. That's such a great book - it inspires me every time. Also, I'm loving the new look of the blog! x

So so true. Stephen and I are in talks of creating a little adventure of our own, one perhaps that he starts off on his own. It's so important to travel and explore and see parts of the world that no one else gets to see - it's where the excitement lies.
ReplyDeleteI love the new blog look! I love how you make them simple, yet beautiful.
ReplyDeleteadded a new book on my to-read list. I like that you wrote the quote yourself. I like trying that too, but it doesn't come out that nice.
I'm still waiting for my big adventure. my only one so far is going through life, but I do want a specific one to try, as I think I'll love it!
too much blabbering.

love the new look! and anything mccandless related :)
ReplyDeleteEver since getting hooked on his story I always think back and identify with that adventurous story. Sometimes we just have to get out for awhile :). Good luck on your 2014 adventures!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you two. Can't wait to read about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteToo bad we never made the trip to Chris's bus. That would have been a good adventure. China will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteLook at you go! I can already see you improving! Better than I could do ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blog! Love the new look. :) And that quote speaks directly to me...the way you created it is beautiful.
