So here I am, sitting on a plane bound for San Francisco, the first stop of my three-month long travel. Indeed, my three-month long travel has finally began. I have been looking forward to this day ever since I realized weeks before my graduation that my true calling lies somewhere outside of Boston. As the plane took off from the runaway at Boston Logan Airport, I took a last glimpse of the Bostonian skyline under a beautiful summer sky and reflected on the wonderful memories of my life in the city. For this is my final departure from Boston, a city which I have lived for the last ten years. Even though I was feeling excited and happy to leave Boston I suddenly gave one last sigh of melancholy. Departing Boston was bittersweet. The city has been a huge part of my life. My lifestyle and so many of my decisions were explicably influenced by the city. Most of all, I will miss doing the familiar things that I have come to like, such as eating Iggy's bagels, running along the Charles River (still one of my favorite running spots in the world), the New England early fall and spring (the crispy air in New England is hard to beat), and last but not least, my fair city, Cambridge (as the Car Talk guys would say it). On the other hand, I yearn for starting something new in another city -- meeting new people, going new places, and doing new things. Yes, it is definitely time for me to move on and take on new life. So goodbye Boston and hello world.
