Getting Started....

Moving to Africa... When I told my father that this time in my life seems surreal, he said it seems "real." Never can seem to agree on too much these days, so which is it? Surreal or Real? Part of my adventures in life these days, are a strong attempt to live in the moment. However, if I view this upcoming endeavor as surreal, then I am seemingly not living in the moment. Therefore I must embrace this time, embrace these last two days in the states, and embrace my decision to travel to a developing nation to volunteer. So, here I am, twenty two years old, graduated from college, and packing my hiking backpack. No looking back now, only watching my current moments, my current steps. Life is no longer surreal. It is a diving board of adventures, and I am about to submerge myself! I hope to keep my friends and family(y'all) updated through this blog, with my stories and pictures. In advance, please pardon the grammatical errors and comments that may show my inner weaknesses, but most of all, thank you for letting me share these thoughts with you all....
