So, at the request of a few friends I've decided to set up a blog about my summer abroad. I have not left yet but in light of the fact that I repel technology I thought I should see about getting this blogging business all figured out. By and large, I'm still confused. But hey, I have until July 7th. That's the big day, I'll get on a plane all doped up on Dramamine and wave goodbye to all that is familiar to me (I've never been further north than Kansas or further South than Mexico). When I land I will be in Stockholm, Sweden with just a sparsely packed suitcase and a group of Baylor Bears that I've yet to meet. After a brief stay in Stockholm I will board a train to Copenhagen, Denmark. I'll stay a few days there then board a plane to my ultimate destination, London, England where I will stay (except for a weekend in Paris, France and another in Edinburgh, Scotland) until August 10.
I've dreamed of seeing London since I was in the third grade and I can't believe I'll be going in just 40 days. This trip couldn't have come at a better time for me, before now I've never understood the desperate need to break the mold and experience an adventure all my own. Hopefully that's what this trip will be for me, one heck of an adventure. I'm so grateful that I've been blessed with a family and friends who support my going and I hope that this trip will make me a wiser and stronger person for them and for myself.
If you happen to be one of the few following this adventure of mine feel free to talk with me, share thoughts and advice, or even to make fun. You can use the comments here, my facebook, or my Baylor email, I plan to stay somewhat on top of those three during my travels.
