Places I Shall Go!

Hello everyone! This is my very first blog post. I hope I can keep this up. I'm not exactly sure who would actually read this but I figure it's something I would enjoy. Especially because I am a rambler. Not really out loud--more so in my head. What I'm trying to say is I tend to obsess. What I obsess over varies day to day or week to week--or even if it's a large obsession it could take months for me to even remotely get over it. I believe that one of the problems is that I need to have someone to vent to. And so, a blog is the perfect outlet--I don't ramble to people about things they don't care about--and then you, whoever you are, will choose to read or disregard the things I say. Since I don't know what you're actually reading and what you're (probably) scoffing at, I will assume for my benefit that you are reading every single word I write and being enlightened by the amazing things that I have to say. Sound good to you? Sounds alright to me. Of course it does help if you want to leave thoughtful comments or agreements to any of my posts--I would love that.

And now to get to what's really important. Why is my blog called Beauty, Culture & Travel if all I am going to do is ramble about my obsessions? Well, that is a good question, (insert name), and I will tell you. As I have thought long and hard about these things that so press upon my brain I have realized that most can be fit into these three categories. I adore beautiful things--beautiful movies, stories, music, places--you name it. I enjoy rambling about beautiful things that catch my interest. I love culture. I started out being an Anthropology major at East Tennessee State University in order to devote my life to the study of other cultures. Being the wishy washy person that I am, I soon after changed my major to International affairs..then to History..then back to Anthropology and now currently Education. This is subject to change. But nevertheless I love Culture and a large portion of my ramblings will pertain to it. And finally Travel. Travel is one of my many constant obsessions in life and one thing that I will probably never get enough of. And so this blog is devoted to these three categories and hopefully will be entertaining to not only me but you as well.

As I have been lately researching where I want to study abroad junior year, I have currently begun a large obsession with England. I have been to London once and this summer when I take a European Camping trip I will be reunited with it once again! I found these charming pictures while googling Canterbury, England--a small town about an hour southeast of London. I would love to study abroad here!

Don't you think this is Lovely?

                                                        I can picture myself right there.

Thank you!- Rockwell
