In less than seven days, I will be embarking on a journey that has been a dream of mine since I can remember. I am willingly and without hesitation forgoing the comforts of home, abstaining from my over-indulgent lifestyle, and removing myself from the hustle & bustle I call normal. Instead, I am going to focus my energy and efforts on something outside of myself, outside my own frame of reference, in order to help someone else and by doing so hopefully make a difference. I am very fortunate to have my Uncle George accompanying me on this trip and it is through his diligent work and contacts overseas that this trip is even possible. I'm also thankful to have the full support of my family and friends.
Many have traveled this path before me and I am sure many will follow. But as I prepare for this journey I am constantly reminded of a quote, “How far we travel in life matters far less than those we meet along the way."
Through this blog, I intend to share my personal journey and introduce you to the people I meet along the way.
