Today, I created this blog so people could follow me on my travels.
Wanted to start out by answering a few questions you might have:
The first answer I have concerns the starting date of this blog. Yes, it is true, that I have not yet left on my adventure. As of now, I am sitting in an office in D.C. As many of you know, I am in the middle of a hiatus from school (commonly known as a "Gap Year"). Depending on how much school you think I actually went to during the second half of my senior year, I am anywhere from 3-10 months into my hiatus. That makes 3-10 months since I have written anything of value or meaning. As such, my writing skills are a bit rusty, and I thought if I get a head start and begin blogging now, by the time I leave for my first destination, Nicaragua, on January 4th, I will be writing at an 8th-grade level, which, although much lower than my peak of 10th or 11th grade writing skills, is still good enough to convey my point.
The second anser deals with that picture that is the background of my blog (the quaint, old-fashioned European cottage). Never been there before in my life. Don't even know if I ever will. It's just pretty!
So welcome to my blog, and hopefully it will inform you of my whereabouts and my condition whilst I am off adventuring (and to you, my parents, hopefully you will find out my condition via private correspondence before you read it here, although no promises :) )
