Well well well, here I am, hours from my leg of my newest journey in the world. An adventure I have been anticipating, planning and dreaming of for the past year, pondering if this will be the event in my life to alter the flow forever. So here i sit and wait and wonder what the hell is about to happen to me. My plan for those that don't know is to leave this "normal" life i have been living for the past 21 years and step out into the wold with one goal in mind. To EXPLORE!! So tomorrow I begin this new adventure with a pack and my back, a rough itinerary of places I'll most likely end up, and a group of comrades to share this potentially life changing experience with.

So off to Europe I head. Traveling to southern France with my previous roommate and his family to Hossegore, France to soak up the sun and waves for a comfortable 5 weeks. Then I train to Italy to meet up with a long time friend to travel through Italy, France, and Spain. What happens during this is still the mystery and will most likely have a profound impact on my life. So to all that I was unable to say farewell to personally, i apologize and wish you a fantastic summer filled with your own adventures and stories, all of which I will be grateful to hear in the fall when I return. And to everyone else, thank you for your wishes and yes, i will be careful, safe and have lots and lots of fun. Thank you to all that have supported me, I love you all.

Avoir!
