The Introduction!

So this is the official, grand opening of my wonderful, little travel series.

For starters, my name is Mae Anderson. I'm an 18 year-old singer-songwriter/French television personality/full-time student in Edmonton, AB, Canada-- if you don't know where that is, it's on the Western side of the country. Google Maps it. I'm taken by a wonderful, handsome young man named Spencer. I have a beautiful younger sister, Erika, two loving parents, and two kitties which I call my princes. Within the next month, I will convert to a vegetarian for the first time-- wish me luck! ;)
I have a passion for music that is difficult to describe in human words. I also have a fascination for the 40s, 50s, and 60s that goes beyond belief.

I grew up with Elvis' presence constantly surrounding me. I don't remember a time when I didn't know who Elvis was. My love (or rather, as some people call it, obsession) never ceased to multiply over the years, until I finally had my own money and could begin to afford collectors' items. There is a mystery behind the King of rock'n'roll that will forever intrigue me. It may have to do with the fact that I wasn't part of that generation. I never met him, nor heard him live.. and there's something about that, that eats away at me. To me, he's almost like a mythological being, someone from legends and fairytales. To think that somebody so incredibly talented, warm-hearted, and good-looking walked this Earth... it's hard to wrap your head around something so magnificent, no?

I digress.

To say the least, I've been searching for answers about him my whole life. I'm finally taking the plunge and going back to his home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee, where I will celebrate his 78th birthday along with thousands of other die-hard fans. This will definitely be a trip-of-a-lifetime for me!

I'll be making a few vlogs before I go, every day while I'm there, and a couple when I get back for reflection and review purposes. Many blogs will follow.

If you have any questions about anything, or just wanna chat (I'm friendly, promise!), you can send me a message at:
