In homage to studying abroad...





Do you ever wonder if the places you've inhabited, feel your absence after you're gone? I like to think that they do. After all, you've contributed to their daily wear and tear and aromatic essence. You've shared with them, your most intimate self; when nobody else was watching, their space was there surrounding you, witnessing your every move and solace.

And if they don't, we do, don't we? 


Oh, but they do...they have the scars to prove it.


And we have a cache of mementos - such as the polaroids in this post - to remind us we were there.
