Hobbies, Maddie

An unfamiliar feeling arises in the pit of her stomach. A peculiar medley of fear and excitement.  In a spontaneous moment, she decided to escape the monotonous routine of her hometown life to a place of magnificent freedom.  As she throws clothing into a giant duffel, dreams of Everest, the French Riveria, the Amazon, entertain her imagination. She glances to her left and the tickets spilling out of an American passport provoke the giant smile stretching across her ambitious face.
