the beginning.

found on the cobblestone streets near campus by the programme director.
it already feels like home, and i haven't even arrived.

words cannot describe the thoughts, feelings, and anticipation that are slowly building within me. i always knew i wanted to explore the world and go on an adventure. and now it is happening. this is it!

in one months time i will be leaving the country to embark on an adventure of a lifetime, an adventure that no one can prepare for. some of the great moments in life are not meant to be prepared for, they just happen. and it is the way in which we interpret and react to such things that truly shows how prepared we really are.

so here it goes, i'm taking the plunge into an ocean of mystery and adventure! here is where i will document this adventure, as a chronicle of sorts. i am telling a story. the story of my life abroad. away from home. away from family. away from friends. away from security. and away from.. reality. because this journey i am about to take, is other worldly. all i ask, is for you to listen as i tell you all about the thoughts, feelings, and events happening within the next chapter of life.

for i will be gone from minnesota.
