As you can imagine my mind has been looking forward to the future, because in one week I will be traveling to Dublin, Ireland to begin my journey across 4 European countries: Ireland, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, and Germany. Isn't it funny how we look forward to something so much and then we when arrive at those moments we try so hard to freeze them in time or slow them down?
25 days is a healthy amount of time, but I am very much so trying to adopt the mentality of now when I leave. When I am in the middle of amazing moments I often find myself in the back of my mind saying things like: "Oh, man.. I am already past half-way into this moment" or "This time tomorrow I will be done with this." or "This time next week I won't be feeling this anymore".. and have the existential realization that I can't go back. I HAVE TO STOP THAT. I must take each moment and enjoy them and be grateful they are present.
I have decided to share my travel itinerary online here just to be transparent about where and when I will be.

I will more than likely be posting a song I was listening to during my adventures in these cities along with historical facts and also photos of the places I visit, just to be able to take a more refined internal polaroid for myself.
I really appreciate everyone so involved and interested in my travels! I hope my documentation is entertaining, moving, and downright fun to follow.
This Friday night (October 19th) I will be at Scape American Bistro in the Central West End in St. Louis performing for you all and saying farewell for a little under a month. If you follow this blog and are a friend, fan, family member, or observer, I encourage your attendance!
Best,
Gavin
