Finally! The long awaited and anticipated return of my blogging career :) I must say, I feel a bit rusty. So expect some major changes in the layout once I get back into it and have the patience to reformat a few things. For now though, I am just anxious to hit the virtual journal writing trail once again...a perfect metaphor for this, the first post of Wanderlust.
I will admit that one of the reasons I have been lagging on getting this blog up and running is the fact that I have not been able to come up with a name I was content with. I have a whole page in my notebook of possible names that I have scribbled down in the past few months. Some of them are pretty lame, which I guess is only testament to the fact that I was getting kind of desperate. They are kind of fun to look through though, as they reflect some of the greater themes of my life these days. Here are a few that I came up with but decided against: "Deliriously Happy," "In Harmony," "World at my Fingertips" and "Glass Half Full." I know, kind of annoyingly upbeat...but I can't help it.
Defined by Wikipedia as "a strong desire to travel, or, of having a strong desire to explore the world," wanderlust is a word I have always liked as well as a condition that I have always had. It has been over the past few years however, that my condition has become pretty severe and apparently, incurable.
As most of you know, I moved from Stockholm this summer, spent a few months in California and am now living in Brooklyn, NY working in Midtown Manhattan. Don't feel bad if you have been out of the loop during my long blogging hiatus and was under the impression that I was still living in Sweden. I can hardly keep up with myself sometimes. I'm not quite ready to slow down just yet either. It' s a great big world we live in and I am having the time of my life soaking up as much of it as I can. I look forward to sharing some of my experiences and thoughts here about my world and of course, about livin' life in the Big Apple.

Glad I could be one of the first to comment. Love that you are back in business in the blogging world. I will read it daily. Miss you tons Sis, and am glad that life is going so well for you these days. Keep smiling, you are beautiful. Wanderlust pretty much sums you up, unfortunately for your family who wishes you would just live with them!! :)
Hi Camille! This is your cousin Michelle. I am so excited to have found your blog. I looked at your Mom's today & saw a link to "Wanderlust". Wow, what a great word! I have to admit that I am slightly (okay, more like extremely) jealous of all of your adventures. I guess I would have to say that I have wanderlust as well. I've told my husband that I would move anywhere in the world that he would want to go. I have always wanted to travel & I am so impressed that you actually do it & have these great experiences. I'll be in New York in a few weeks. Any suggestions on what to see?
Okay, this is the longest comment ever. Anyway, I look forward to stalking your blog. You are such a great writer!
You're so stinkin' cute Camille! :) As I have told you before, I truly appreciate your writing skills and I also love that you have such a strong zest for life. It's a lot of fun reading your blog and I want you to know that I admire you so very much. I've never been to NY but it's definitely on my "To Do" list so hopefully I can come visit you some time. Keep up your positive attitude and please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers often.
I love you baby girl!!
Hugs and kisses from your big sis,
~Shannon
