RE: Things I've Made a Priority

I hate travelling because when you do it on a broad, international scale, people ask you where you're from. The accent gives you away, and the lines at passport control, the visas, the "rules based order" make the experience of travel a beaurcratic act of pontificating as to why you want to visit so and so place and experience blah and blah.

And that's with an albeit (pretty innoccent) Australian passport.

I ... love seeing history though. I love seeing art in foreign galleries and eating food (sometimes when its something I can't even pronounce) but every time the wanderlust hits - theres only one place in the world I want to return to (not a Chesterfield) but the galleries of London, as if to travel to the 1880-1920s portrayals of an innocent depicted by the likes of the Pre-Raphaelites, a world before war set the agenda.

Before borders became a commodity.

Maybe im just too much of an idealist. May your line up at the airport be short. :)
