Today is the day! (But actually - my plane takes off in twelve short hours!) I will be writing here periodically (hopefully once a week!) to keep friends and family updated on the miracles and mishaps I encounter over the next nine months. My journey begins in Ghana where I will become acquainted with my fellow gap year-ers and will learn what exactly I have gotten myself into. From ther,e I move on to Capetown, South Africa for two months of building (yes, I will be doing manual labor) and working in a Human Rights office. After a quick trip home for Christmas I'm off to the Sacred Valley in Peru where I will be collaborating with Peruvian teachers to create an English curriculum for their students. In Madurai, India I will be splitting my time between working at an orphanage and interning at the Madurai Messenger. My last stop sends me one thousand leagues under the sea in Krabi, Thailand where I will be spending more time under water than on land on a marine conservation project. I cannot thank you all enough for your support and encouragement! It truly means the world to me and I am so blessed to have you all behind me!
Let the adventure begin!
