A new life necessitates a new blog

So I'm done with uni in a week, and then the summer of my new life begins.

In all honesty, I have no clue which corner of the globe I'm going to be in 6 months, nor the kind of people I'm going to be surrounded by. It really depends on where I get my AIESEC traineeship. I do know that for the next one year I'm not really going to be in any one country for more than 4 months at a time.

So maybe this blog will serve as a form of continuity, a glue cementing all the various changes and goodbyes. In the process, I'll be leaving behind too many places and people, so the easiest way to keep in touch, I hope, will be to use this blog as a platform.

The old blog was a purely a travelogue, and although I won't be going on 'holiday' anytime soon, I do feel that my immediate future is going to be a journey of sorts, definitely a journey I want to document:

Life without London, the beginning of a career in journalism, living and working in a country I've never been to, sometimes having too much time on my hands, and perhaps 1 or 2 stories of my mother attempting to marry me off. Lord help me!

The countdown begins: 6.5 days to freedom
