I always had a bit of wanderlust, last year had an international wedding marrying the love of my life. This wanderlust fever hasn't been quenched yet I still want to travel the world. But it feels good to have a place to call home. The only home I ever knew is Saint Lucia where my husband is from. As I stand on the edge of the person I am, versions who I want to be I want to be a seasoned traveler to see it all.

Being in a third world country has taught me so much, to remember things can get rougher. But also to remember the small stuff like family, and friends. To just relax.

Most of us aren't so lucky to have these freedoms, tied down to the stuff that bind us.

Take me home, let me see the world, because this freedom there is nothing like. Most people can't have that luxury because something stops them. To be honest it almost stopped me.

I was afraid deep down on what I would learn outside of the US. Little did I know, but it's even better outside then it is here in some ways. I have friends in Saint Lucia, and friends in Scotland. Some of which I've not seen in a very long time and I've missed a lot.

How do you roll of the places you want to go into? Make a list of where you want to go. Of course, that's what I want to do. I just don't wanna travel anymore.

I want to travel again to Saint Lucia just to see my husband and my friends. Just more my husband I miss him so much. I can't wait to feel him hold me.

Lately, for the hell I went through I got into an argument with my husband for him trying to make me happy. It was stupid of me, I would do anything to make him feel better.

Rental cars, freedom to drive anywhere I wish with my husband at my side. I know anything is possible.

A whole new world where anything is possible, I yearned for a life of freedom away from the toxic clutches of my family. Having a taste of real freedom feels good to have.

Wanderlust is a something that can't hold me back anymore. I can't wait to return home to be with my husband just for two weeks.

How do you just fit in two weeks when all you want is him no one else? Two weeks and I just want him.

So my wanderlust started when I married my husband. I can't get enough of traveling and looking forward to seeing him.

Looking out the window while taking the train, or plane just wondering what comes next the future is bright.

What's unclear is the future that I'm meant for. Because it's unwritten yet until I decide what I want to do. My husband said he would fall me to the ends of the earth.

I've never been to anyways really in my own country. A whole world and I've never seen mine.

All fifty states, I've only briefly been to Miami, and South Carolina. Oh god Miami is my favorite place by far. I love the hot weather reminds me of Saint Lucia. Even though it's just a state, it's not far from my home, my hubby.

I would be ever so appreciative if you left me a tip, subscribed, and left a heart.

I want to thank my wanderlust nature for inspiring this article. And my inspiration to not just keep writing, but dream big.
