Is this really happening?

So, to start out this journey, thought you should have a little background info...


I love to travel. I love cultures, I love food, I love people. Above all, I love my Creator. 
I have had many opportunities to travel in the last four years and have been all over the world from Argentina to China to Haiti, South Africa and even London! I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of my travels and feel so blessed to have witnessed such amazing things. 


Each trip I learn something new. I inevitably learn something new about a culture, whether it is my first time there or my fifth, I always learn something new about the culture. I learn something about the language- I love languages, there's something so mysterious about them, yet so...so logical and understandable. I hope to be fluent in multiple languages by the time I finish travelling. I learn something about diet and exercise. Diet more than anything! More than all that though, I learn about myself. After living with me for 22 years, one would think that I had learned who I am and know ALL the in's and out's of my crazy thinking. Apparently I don't, because EVERY trip, without fail, I learn more of who I am and who I want to be.


Well, now the time has come for me to leave again, only for a much longer period of time than I have ever done before. A year and a half this time. That's about 584 days!!! What am I thinking? Who knows... I take it as it comes- one step at a time, and by the time I'm done with my journey, I'm sure I will not ever imagine where I'll end up!


On this blog I hope to outline new things for you; by the end of this journey together, I hope you feel like you have been right there with me, in Xiamen China, eating what I eat, hearing what I hear, and seeing what I have seen.
