I knew I would be leaving Europe. As soon as I knew I'd get a leave package from work, it was in the plans. But when it came time to press the purchase button for my flight to the Philippines, my fingers wouldn't move. I sat at the table in front of my laptop for a few minutes, my heart sinking to my stomach.
I'd be leaving Europe, with no projected date to return. And when I would return, would it only be as a tourist instead of a resident? As exciting as the prospects of continued world travel was, leaving Europe gave finality to a life no longer led in Amsterdam.
But my finger finally fell heavy. The ticket was purchased. And I then left the continent that felt like home.

Gah!!! You're killing me Claire. Your blog makes me think I want to travel again........
In other news, I'm settling in to NYC life. It's a lot different than anywhere else I've been for the past year.
Also, your photos are gorgeous.
