seattle-nyc-philly-bmore-cph!

i hope 2009 is treating everyone well! first of all, some recent snapshots of my life:

meeting up with friends in new york


enjoying the season in baltimore


a little collage i made yesterday, with the wonder that is photoshop


yesterday i made the realization that i have been doing a lot of traveling lately, and hopefully will be doing even more in the near future! on the last sunday in december i was in seattle; on the first sunday of january, i was in new york city; last weekend, philadelphia; next sunday will be copenhagen! of course this travel mixture contains plenty of baltimore too.

i'm really feeling more and more like baltimore is my home. i'm living in a rowhouse in the neighborhood of hampden and wow, it feels just so baltimore. the more and more i become familiar with the city, the more it seems like there is so much to explore. (luckily the day-to-day adult things like grocery shopping, cooking dinner, and commuting still seem novel and fun to me...i'm sure this will wear off with time, but these make me feel exhilarated and content right now.) last week i volunteered at my favorite nonprofit, the creative alliance, and had a handful of awesome conversations with people there. i then took a leisurely walk about three miles across the neighborhoods of highlandtown, patterson park, fells point, harbor east, and into the inner harbor-- a wide swath of baltimore's intoxicatingly uniqueness. i'm really enjoying the vibe of life here and see myself here for a while....but for now, i have four months of exploring copenhagen to do!

i leave for denmark on saturday, get there sunday, and start classes on thursday. until then, it is working, finishing packing, and soaking up my wonderful friends here.
