months and months of being stagnant and trapped in the city have led me to one conclusion: i need a vacation.

and no, i’m not talking about going to visit friends in a foreign city that i’ve already frequented. and i’m not talking about going on a tour or a venturing to what will probably become the next international tourist trap. i mean a REAL vacation — a place where i can disconnect and mediate… a place where i can exist liminally and can feed escapist in me. far far away, to the farthest reaches of the earth… vanuatu. socotra. palau. dominica. the northwestern passage. andaman and nicobar. with that said, until i have a enough pennies saved in my piggy bank (which currently has enough coins to buy a coffee and a copy of Condé Nast Traveller) or until fedex decides to make a box where i can comfortably ship myself for a reasonable price, im going to have to settle for daydreams guided by my now dated Lonely Planet books and appropriately themed playlist.

wanderlust is a mix of tunes taken from old ‘travel’ playlists of mine — primarily focusing on songs that mention (or are titled after) places, traveling, movement, and/or escaping. for those of you feeling what i’m feeling right now, this particular podcast should help curb your travel cravings for about two hours or so.
