Feeding Creativity

Today I’m writing this post from a bus in Italy. It’s a fun and challenging experience. I hope you’ll forgive any typos!

There is something about traveling that feeds my creativity. I’m sure I will post more when I’m not writing on my phone. But the colors. The architecture. The landscapes. The variety of dialects that I hear. All of it combines to fuel me and fill my cup.

Add in introducing extended family to some of my favorite places in Italy, and it’s a unique sort of homecoming. It’s been fun to feel like I k ow the streets I am walking even though it’s been six or seven years since I’ve visited these roads and places. It’s this interesting mix of homecoming and seeing it anew.

Do you have places you like to travel? Places that are comfortable yet also bring a sense of exploration and what’s around the corner? What attracts you to that location?

  1. I know exactly what you’re talking about. When I was in college I did a study abroad summer program in Italy and after college graduation I went back, this time with my parents. It was so special to show my parents the places I had gone while studying and the places I loved.
