No Training Wheels Needed

My first blog post!

Now where to begin… I’m beginning a blog to push myself to engage in creative writing, expression, and reflection of my adventures and share them with friends and family.

The goal of Magnetic deviation is to take advantage of the experiences I encounter in the present moment. I found myself years back using social media thoughtlessly posting moments and experiences I encountered with no general thought. Driven by the act of sharing these moments rather than experience them. Looking for an alternative to sharing my travels I turned to blogging and creating Magnetic Deviation.

“Magnetic deviation is the error induced in a compass by local magnetic fields which must be allowed for if accurate bearings are to be calculated” or as some would call it “Danish”

To me magnetic deviation relates to realizing all the small choices we make in life that affect our journey. I really enjoy those moments that lead us down a path we would have never expected or approached. I believe in life that you have to account for these moments. Not to predict but be open to the fact that each moment we get to share has its own story and lesson that will affect our preconceived realty of the future. Meaning it’s the journey not the destination.

Currently I’m embarking on 6 week trip across Europe with a group of young adults that I have had the pleasure of coaching, teaching, traveling, and many moments in between with. Ideally through this process of “blogging” I would like to add more writing but more now I’ll begin with a montage of our events with three videos.

First: What I thought the first three days would be like:

Second: What it really felt like

Finally: A detailed account
