This is me. In the World.

Two years ago, while traveling in Spain, I was set straight by a dear friend regarding something I clung to in order to establish my identity. As is common when traveling, I was often asked where I was from, and I always responded, "New York" as that had been my last stopping point. On a hot afternoon in Sevilla, my friend overheard this exchange and set me straight: "YOU are not FROM New York. (I'm not?) "People like you are OF the world, you are not FROM New York. Whatever you do, wherever you go, the world is your home...no matter where you have been or where you are going, you will always be of the world. Paige del Mundo. Sounds much better don't you think?" I thought it sounded cartoon-characterish, but I knew his idea was right. Exploring the world - locally or faraway - has always been my passion. So here is the story of Paige del Mundo. Paige of the World. These are my pages written while being in the world. I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoy telling my story.

Running thru an English Garden







The next day I awoke early and was ready to see more of Munich. As I have found, a morning run in a new city is the best way to take in a lot while burning off any restless energy so as soon as the sun came up I hit the streets.



I was headed to the English Garden and while that sounded cool, I had no idea what to expect. I ran past several historical sites, and found the path leading to the garden. And what a garden it was! With the morning mist still hovering on the lake and in the meadow, this place was straight ouf of a fairytale.
