Last week, I visited a Ron Mueck gallery in Mexico City. I’m not usually a museum/gallery type of person (although I did love the museum of Anthropology and the peace museum in Hiroshima) but since tuesdays were free, I decided to take a look.

Since my 6 month journey down under, I can’t seem to picture my life without the constant curiosity and adventure of long-term travel. Life will never be the same for me. I will never happily be able to ride the migratory route to work each day, live in the same community my whole life, and partake…
