So I feel like I should be starting my blog by now, much like I feel like I should be doing a lot of things I haven't yet in preperation for my trip. I'll most likely end up procrastinating with a lot of things I shouldn't, but half the fun is the last minute decisions, right?
People ask me if I'm excited for my trip, and my answer is always 'of course I am!' Then people ask me if I'm scared, and my answer is always 'not at all.' In reality, though, I'm scared shitless! I don't know what I'm getting myself into, or what's going to go wrong, but the thought of regretting not doing what I've dreamed about for years scares me more than anything else. How many people have you ever heard that said "man, I wish hadn't spent that summer in Australia!" or "volunteering in Africa - that was a waste of my time!" So off I go, to meet whoever I can meet, and experience whatever I can, and become really aware of the world around me. I know that I'm going to have great times, and I also know that there will be days when I want to sit down and cry and catch the next flight home - but that's all part of the adventure.
I don't have much to say at this point, but now I've established my place to tell people about my adventures - I make no promises, but I'll try to keep it updated reguarly.
