Dearest Family and Friends,

I thought I'd create a travel journal so you can all see where I am and what I've been doing. I won't update it too frequently as I'll be gone for quite a while, so I'll just post highlights from my travel adventures.

I know I'm going to miss everyone very much, so if you have time I'd love to hear from you all so I know what has been happening back home.

Thanks so much guys for your prayers and encouragement. I'm sure I would've chickened out if you didn't all lovingly spur me on (or maybe you're all just keen to see me go!)

I look forward to hearing from you!

With lots of love and blessings,
xoxo
