| Introduction | I've been known to repeat, as if a mantra, "If I don't get out of New Jersey, I'm a failure." I'm Shan, aspiring chronic traveler, 21-year-old student of German and Asian studies, lover of beer and languages and sleeping at airports, looking for my way out. As Kafka would put it, my destination is simply "weg-von-hier," away from here, and yet... damn if I'm not happy having diner breakfasts with my parents, marathoning the series "Merlin" with my brother and cousins, and being in my own space, surrounded by my piles of books. If I leave this place it'll kill me... but I can't very well live by staying here. In May I will graduate, and maybe through writing in this blog I can figure out the answer to the question "what's the next step, little Shan?" But I make you no promises. |
