Even though you're a million miles away, when you hear Born in the USA

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S HERE! Tomorrow evening at 6:10 p.m. I will finally be on my way to Cape Town, South Africa for an amazing five weeks with my fellow Global L.E.A.D students and staff. The bags are all packed with barely a pound to spare (how typical, right?!) and I am ready to bon voyage! I have to admit that I am a tad bit nervous, considering I have never been out of the country before, but I know that this trip is going to change my life

I will use this blog to help document some of my adventures as I spend the next five weeks in Africa, getting to be part of such an incredible program. I am very excited for all that is in store for me and all the amazing friends and relationships I am about to form! I feel so incredibly blessed to have been given this opportunity. 

Well for now America, ADIOS!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds by your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
