change a little
you know i suffer from this affliction where i travel, journey and explore only to come home and mope around for months. months and months of sulking about the place. it’s rather tragic really. most people like to write about those travel experiences. some people have been known to hold gatherings where they will set up a projector and beam happy holiday snaps for friends and family.
i kind of avoid it.
ask me how my travels were and i have a standard response: “it was great and i want to go back. now” yes, i am no fun to be with once i arrive back home. pity my travel partner; this time my husband who has had to withstand the moping in real life.
well today, i’ve changed. i can’t promise that it is a permanent change, but today i share some photos with frankie magazine of a city which i took quite a fancy to: portland, or. do check it out if you get the chance.
and of course you can see a whole bunch more from our trip seattle, portland and new york right here.

this made me smile. i always want to go back. i have to remember that the here and now isn’t so bad after all… poor m gets ever so tired of me wishing i was somewhere else the whole time :) like japan… i still have masses of slides to scan – i’m going to try to get on it and make it a new project.

That is so cool Deb:-)
I blog about my travel experiences mainly to document the enjoyable moments to cherish later:-)
I am so happy you shared your pics…I always enjoy seeing places through your lens.
Happy to see you blogging again.

oh I know that feeling! I am a monster when I come back from a holiday. I always want more and am never happy to go back to work! my poor work colleagues, they usually give me a wide birth until i’ve settled down again

i thought that i recognised your style in the frankie spread and i’m pleased to see that i was right! the photographs are beautiful – i hope i will make it to portland one day to see the city for myself. and don’t worry, you’re not alone with the moping. i am absolutely hopeless when i get home too :)

Portland is lovely, I am hoping to go back there real soon. So many cool buildings and such great food culture!
