here's a secret.
and it is mostly for all you airline employes (meaning, you should probably only go here if you're getting paid). if you need to clear your head. if you need to brainstorm. a good nights sleep. somewhere with no distractions. and a small workout facility. then i know just the place...
SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN!
i have actually been actively avoiding canada for a long time now, but i saw this trip on the swap board where you stay in saskatoon for 30 some hours. so we get in sunday night and then we are there all monday. i knew that there was a mall, starbucks, internet and a workout room so i took the trip. and for a place that is way below freezing and has terrible tv (dont worry...i know there are most likely zero canadians reading this) it is a most excellent place to be alone. without interruption and all the duties of our everyday lives - you can actually hear yourself think. process your life. i mean, this is essentially what traveling is to me. a time to reflect but also a time to be inspired. you are constantly creating yourself. customly designing who you want to be.
and so as i sat at the starbucks...observing the canadians.
i. was. inspired.
the feeling is ineffable. and i wasnt in some extraordinary, unique setting. i wasnt drinking tea in the jungles of laos. or doing yoga in an ashram in india.
i was at a freaking starbucks. in saskatoon.
