so last night i met someone new. i think that's the first time in a long time that i have actually had a decent conversation with someone face to face who, although was a friend of a friend, was a complete stranger to me.

it was somewhat refreshing getting to know someone from the very beginning. to talk about what we do, what our interests are and where we see ourselves in the near future. it makes it even more enjoyable when both parties are genuinely interested in what you have to say and can relate to each others experiences. it took me a while to calm my nerves and feel comfortable talking to him but once the conversation started to flow, i slowly opened it.

that is partly what i am looking forward to when i travel overseas next year. meeting lots of new people and learning about the experiences that they have had. the other part is making new experiences for myself and exploring parts of the world i have never travelled to.

next year is going to be full of adventure and excitement... i can't wait!
