Introductions.

Liminal Divagation is a blatantly intellectual, big wordy, and ridiculous sounding title for a travel blog. It's a bit pretentious, I admit. Perhaps a bit hubris as well. I'm not actually helping my case by describing my blog title with the words pretentious and hubris now am I? But what is my case anyways? Well, as you will see, I'm not entirely sure. But I can tell you what this blog is all about, and maybe that will shed some light on its title. This blog will contain a series of posts documenting my year-long leave of absence from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon (Disclaimer: not all posts will be mere re-tellings of my experiences. Expect to read about some mushy-gushy stuff too, like my thoughts and feelings, musings, etc. My blog may begin to resemble a diary or narrative rather than a play-by-play log of my experiences). I have opted to take a break from collegiate life (don't confuse this with academic, intellectual, or scholarly life, think Animal House) and travel the world in order to, well, have an adventure. More to come.
