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.

My 2-Night Neighborhood

Because I go and do and see so much in these European cities, I am a constant fixture walking up and down the streets of Munich. Always going somewhere, but always going. I have passed the corner bakery at least a dozen times in the past 36 hours. I have waved at the barman at two cafes along Baadkerstrausse more times than I can count.

And as a result of wanting to take in everything in my hood, after such a busy day in Munich, I am hanging out in my 'hood' this evening. Local meal followed by local drinks followed by a quick walk down the street to my 'house' before crashing for the evening.

I am beyond exhausted from a day of sightseeing. This will be my version of relaxing... I hope!
