So we're two weeks out from departure date. I think it actually sank in this weekend. I'm really doing this! Hard to believe! I still have a load of stuff to pack up, which really sucks because who wants to spend time packing when you should be out with friends enjoying life? But for the most part I'm feeling really ready to go. I wish the weather was nicer in Bozeman, but maybe that's just an encouragement to pack! Ha! I can't even begin to describe the emotions I'm going through right now! Where does one start? I'm leaving the country. Not just for a little stint, but for something that feels much more permanent...you know? Strange. But this is the path I chose, and I think it's a good one. I'll have an amazing time, ... read more

Alright...so this is the real beginning of my "Travel Blog". I'm not sure how well I'll be able to keep it up, but I'll do my best depending on access. Lots of big things happening in my life these days. I am turning "two dozen" as a friend says tomorrow afternoon! Birthdays are fun.

It's interesting...this process of joining the Peace Corps. You are a volunteer. You "join". ... read more

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while, so I'll try to get somewhat up to date on what I've been up to the last week or two. I am in Bozeman now, and have been here a little over a week. It's a fun little place, I guess a big city by Montana standards, but still small compared to what I'm used to in CA. My only complaint so far is no late night food except the Pita Pit which I don't plan to visit again. So, last I wrote I was leaving Jackson for Idaho I believe. I drove over the hill to Driggs the night before the little backcountry adventure just to avoid having to get up too early, I'm still lazy at heart. Driggs is a great place if you like to ... read more

Wow, Two Months to Europe! I can't wait....I feel soo unprepared but at the same time...okay. I have most of my hostels figured out but I am still worried about how much money to bring and what ways to travel. I believe all the places we are going....London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Rome, Athens, Morroco, Lisbon......If anyone reading this has any information on any of these places, please let me know.
