Winter nomadic holiday

Posted in Personal by Brittraninc on December 2, 2010

It’s that jolly time of year again! I am back on US soil, hanging out at a Starbucks on third street promenade. I can almost hear church bells and wind chimes at every corner in the early mornings and as soon as night fall hits. Winter is such a beautiful season on the western hemisphere! Tiny little christmas trees as center pieces and hot white mocha aroma in the air here at Starbucks. Some lady just passed and side swiped a table and knocked over two glass cups and the employees apologized, gave her a smile and cleaned it all up in a jiffy! What a wonderful situation to be in, lost in a warm wrath and whether or not I have a physical home; I have friends and family, food & fun, cute scarfs & heavy jackets, snow and red noses to keep me sane.

I’ve spent nearly two years aboard in one of the hottest countries in the world! Now i’m layered in scarfs, sweatshirts, stockings and long heavy jeans. I feel about ten pounds heavier after all the feast and festivities amongst friends and family throughout the course of three months, in three different cities. I have two 50 pound suitcases, 1 lighter carry on and a backpack to wrap up my life. I’ve curated ideas, dreams and unforeseen circumstances fit for a nomad.

Whilst on the way home from an extreme Thanksgiving feast, I came up with the idea of taking a short trip (18 hour turn around) to Vegas.
