The why factor

I've been getting a lot of questions about why I am taking this trip, what I plan to do with it, etc.  I have no plans beyond getting the experience, I have many reasons.  The biggest reason is that I am out of answers.  I don't know what I am supposed to do with my personal or professional life at this point, and I'm hoping to find some clarity.  I am not even going with any questions, if I don't have the answers than maybe I am asking the wrong questions.  I don't know what answers I am looking for, I am only hoping that they find me along the way.  This is not a study of human nature, although I am excited to go observe the interactions between people I already know that at our core we are all the same.  This is not an Eat, Pray, Love situation where I am growing older and more lonely and am going in search of self so that I can love, although I am expecting a healthy dose of self reflection and realization.  I am going because I have no more answers, and this seems to be the only one that makes sense to me anymore.  I have started putting together a more concrete idea of where I will be and when (guided by some fantastic festivals around Europe!!) and I will be posting those soon!
