Leaving The Shire

You have to leave The Shire to start the adventure right? As a girl whose favourite part of The Lord of the Rings is the beginning and the end, when everyone is happy and cozy in The Shire, the thought of leaving little London and heading 10,000 miles (9,856 to be exact) from everything familiar is extremely frightening. However it is on the adventure that everything life-changing and important happens. So I pack my life in two suitcases and one carry-on and I'm off to see what the big world has to offer. The adventure begins in 10 days!
