AWOL.COM/Alice Edwards’ Travel Blog: Living My Dream and Feeling Very #Blessed
20 April – 6.43 p.m.
Welcome to my new travel blog, dream chasers,
Apologies for my blog post earlier today. It was prematurely published because of a fault in the system and not because I pressed publish without thinking. And I do not totally understand how this website works, so I don’tknow how to take it down. While I work this out, please may I ask you not to read that one and please do read this one instead. Ignore what was said about toast crumbs in butter, that was stupid.
So, assuming you are doing what I have asked, let me now introduce myself to you. My name is Alice Edwards and I have quit my very important job and my really fulfilling life back in theUKto spendthe next three months travelling the world. I shall be going to many original places like LA and Thailand and many other brilliant places that I haven’t decided on yet because I am an incredibly spontaneous person. I will be out here all on my own, as I feel that is important for my spiritual journey, which some have called brave, but is simply what I must do. I have just landed in Los Angeles,known as the Sunshine State, and it is really, really nice. The sea outside the plane window is blue like a gleaming sapphire and the sand is pure white and soft like an expensive M&S pillow.
So far, my new friends, I have only been here in this sunshine state for a few minutes, but I can already feel the bohemian, relaxed vibe changing my very soul. I will be staying briefly with my actorfriend Isabelle and then on to other adventurous adventures.
Goodbye for now, my new friends. I have many more roads to travel, many beaten paths to get off, and I will share it all with you, if you will join me here. I shall end my very first blog post (apart from the other one, which again, please don’t read), with a famous quote that I feel is very apt here:
‘A journey of a thousandmiles must begin with a single step.’ Sir Charles Dickens.
PS. If I get murdered, please don’t let theMirroruse any Facebook photospre-2012.

I step off the plane looking like absolute horse manure. I’m starting myLAadventure feeling like I’ve been kicked for half a day – because I literally have. After more than eleven hoursin the air, we then sat on the tarmac for another hour, waiting to be allowed off the sweatbox tin plane. I’ve had no sleep and the guy sitting behind me spent the whole journey kicking the back of my seat.
I sayguy, but I actually do mean tiny, tiny child – which I found out around hour seven, when I finally lost my mind and started swearing in every direction and shrieking that I wouldaim my vomit across the whole row behind me if they didn’t ‘fucking chill’. It was only when I made eye contact with the cryingthree-year-old responsible for my discomfort that I calmed down.
Those last five hours went really slowly, I can tell you.
Either way, I’m finally here, and the buzz of the airport and the early evening heat on my face is slowly starting to invigorate me.
I can’t believe I’m actually in California.
