Day 18: Falling in love with Atlanta

November 1, 2017 by akingsmith@gmail.com

Yesterday, I wrote about my 19 favorite things about Atlanta, so I think it’s pretty clear that I love the city; but, today I wanted to write a little bit more about falling in love with Atlanta.

In September 2015, Ryan joined Praxis, and his business partner was in Atlanta, GA. So, we picked up our lives and moved to the Southern US. Ryan had to start his job a month before our lease was up in Canada, so he headed down a month earlier than I did. As he found an apartment and got settled into life in Georgia, I packed up the rest of our life back home, finished up work at lululemon, and embarked on a 5 day road trip to get down to Georgia.

After 5 days of solo travel, I was super stoked to see the Georgia state sign and know that I was almost “home”. Arriving at the apartment that Ryan had found felt strange. We had almost no furniture, cutlery or groceries, and it hardly felt like I was “home”. [Read more…] about Day 18: Falling in love with Atlanta

Ryan and I spent 10 months living in Atlanta in 2015/2016, and while we were there, we had lots of time to explore and discover some of the awesomeness that Atlanta has to offer. Today, I wrote a post for The World Wanderers on my 19 favorite things to do in Atlanta.

Exploring Charleston, SC

December 29, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but Atlanta was not on my radar as an American city that I ever wanted to visit, much less somewhere that I wanted to use as a base for my travels. Ryan’s job down in Georgia was a completely unexpected adventure, but it has given me a really cool opportunity to explore some of the Southern US.

Christmas in the South

December 26, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
I scurried around, faster than a mouse.
The stockings weren’t hung, there was no chimney to share,
no hopes that Santa Claus would soon be there.

Vacation vs. Real life

October 28, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

Which one am I living? Sometimes it feels like a vacation and sometimes it feels like real life. What I am slowly learning is that to live somewhere in the middle without differentiating the two can be a dangerous game. [Read more…] about Vacation vs. Real life

Mourning what was & dreaming of what could be….

October 23, 2015 by akingsmith@gmail.com

I’ve been in Atlanta for a week and a half now. I have yet to make a friend, work up the courage to go to a meet up by myself, and figure out any way to make money. I know it’s ONLY been a week and a half, but it leaves me feeling lost and a little hopeless. I flip flop between the perspective that my life is super cool, and the perspective that my life is sad.
