      <title>Beginning at the End</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I'm heading home. It might seem like a strange time to begin recording my travel, but this is when the excitement, trepidation, and anticipation begins. To get where I am, I flew over an ocean. To get back to where I began, I'm going to travel by land. Over the last two years, although I haven't been living in my native country, I've had a stable job, an apartment, and travelling was a hobby for weekends or vacations. This will be different. Travelling will be my life. Three months of change, different languages, trains, hostels, hotels, buses (Poor busses, it only had a brief moment of popularity in the written word... As you can see&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=buses%2Cbusses%2Comnibuses&amp;amp;year_start=1800&amp;amp;year_end=2000&amp;amp;corpus=0&amp;amp;smoothing=3&amp;amp;direct_url=t1%3B%2Cbuses%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cbusses%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Comnibuses%3B%2Cc0"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like stability in my life. I hope I learn to like change as well. I'm not sure any of my small vacations prepared me for travel as a way of life (even if it is only for 3 months).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
