The Journey.

In 4 hours I will be boarding a plane with a backpack the size of me on the back, and a back pack the size of a small child on the front.....Perhaps I have over-packed? Perhaps.

My last month in New York has been incredible. My family and friends welcomed me with the most unconditional love and support that I've ever encountered. There really is no place like home.

I took on a new hobby/obsession....its a martial art called " Krav Maga" at an incredible studio called Krav Maga Solutions on West 26st. Krav Maga is an Israeli CIA special forces martial arts class. I have never felt so challenged physically in my life.It has changed my perspective on my inner strength and what I'm mentally and physically capable of. It also taught me that the power within myself is capable of anything and everything.

I've also made some new friends in such a short period of time visiting NYC----and it has been very fun continuing to grow and learn about myself as a reflection of the people I attract toward me, and as I really absorb and reflect on what attracts me to people. My sirens of what I do not want in my life are extremely sensitive and alert. My sirens of what I do want are very crisp and present...and I hope to continue my path of self -discovery of being an courageous, honest, powerful artist and most importantly powerful woman. Independent, full of love....and possibility to share with the world as I go on my journey of curiosity and passion.

For the next month I will be a traveling backpack. It should be funny to witness me carrying my two huge backpacks through Europe...

First stop : Paris
Second stop: 3 week residency in Toulouse, with a company called Au Brana where I will be creating a physical theatre piece with 14 other actors from all over the world. Our piece will be based off of memory and personal stories.
Third stop: Barcelona
Fourth stop: ?
Last stop: Paris

then back to the big apple to say my goodbyes and re-group before my second year of graduate school at Cal Arts.

One of my friends told me " Let Europe wash over you. The good, the bad, the everything...just let it wash it all off, and you will come back a new woman."

This shall be done. I don't have rain boots, but I have a poncho..I'm ready to cleanse and revitalize my heart, soul, mind and every chakra that pulses through my veins.

I'm ready for an adventure of a lifetime.
