I'll freely admit it: Hi, I'm Dani, and I'm addicted to travel. Not just physically going places, either. I can spend hours upon hours perusing Google, wistfully dreaming about sailing in Ha Long Bay, seeing the sakura in Tokyo, and surfing in any one of the gorgeous Polynesian Islands, all the while torturing myself with beautiful pictures of these stunning yet currently unattainable destinations. Why can't airlines and hotels give discounts to those stricken with the incurable and debilitating disease of wanderlust? Who else is with me that there should be official diagnosis criteria? Seriously, thinking about actually trekking across Middle-earth in New Zealand interferes with my daily life way more than I'd like to acknowledge. And the temptation that lies within the deserts of the Silk Road? Please, for the love, my heart can't take it anymore!
I suppose that, just as with all else, everything in moderation. Yeah, I get told to get my head out of the clouds and focus on reality, especially since I'm going off to college in August. However, I take comfort in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien himself, spoken by a certain Ranger of the North -- "Not all who wander are lost."
