I am a girl from Burlington, Vermont.

I am a girl from Burlington, Vermont.
And I will always be a New England girl,
Trips to Maine because I can’t survive the summer without seeing the ocean.
Family from Massachusetts,
And a dear love for Boston.
But something in me,
Longs for a million different places I call home.
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
San Juan La Laguna, Guatemala.
Oceans,
Forests,
Cities big and small,
Back roads leading to nowhere,
Big highways leading to bustling cities,
Cultures mixing like the languages I wish I had learned growing up.
But traveling is scary,
Especially alone,
Especially when you don’t have the funds or time.
So I dream,
Of faraway lands,
That have always called my name,
And will call my name until the day I die.
