The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin’ down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I’m dragging my feet
And I’ll walk 20 more I don’t care
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I’m like a ghost some people can’t see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It’s like I’m not even there
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I’ve never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin’
They take it and don’t say a word
They don’t say a word
Sometimes it’s like I don’t even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
–Jonny Lang, “Wander This World”

I recently decided, quite last minute, that I would be traveling to Brazil, and that, to do this, I would need start the process of getting a Brazilian Visa. The idea of going to Brazil presented itself just a week and a half prior when my Egyptian friends invited me to join them for an…
Over the past few months, I’ve been getting to know the best Orange County beach towns to live in and to visit. My boyfriend, Dave, got a killer job opportunity in Southern California, and as a result decided to relocate to the Los Angeles/Orange County area. May and June so far have been whirlwind months trying…
We had a great second day, and were sad to be leaving San Francisco after our all-too-short weekend jaunt in this fabulous city. We started the morning around 10AM, packing, and discussing how anyone can afford to live in this city. We had had a long conversation with our Lyft driver the previous night, where he…
We spent our first day exploring San Francisco around the China Town area, and already had some great experiences at the waterfront and walking around. Dave got an early start on our second day and went down to Pier 39 Fisherman’s Wharf area to fly his drone, while I slept a little longer. I met him…
Dave and spent the weekend near SFO China Town after he completed some business in Millbrae on Friday. Dave came in earlier to Millbrae on Thursday evening so that he could get to sleep at a reasonable time. The plan was for me to get in much later since I had some work meetings late in the…
