My love for traveling started in high school when I went to Japan for two weeks. I have loved the adrenaline and sense of the unknown every since. Last summer (2011) I went to Korea for 5 weeks and fell in love with the country. I promised myself that I would soon be back. Little did I know that the opportunity would be so soon.
The next week of my life is going to be a roller coaster ride. I am moving from my beloved Grace Street apartment in Greenwood, SC. I have lived here in 138 for two and a half years. Many memories have been shared here. From pre-gaming for sorority formals to movie nights with neighbors to being the place that you always knew would be fun. I have described Greenwood as a black hole. If you don't get out soon you never will, something will always draw you back to this crazy town. I have had so many amazing memories in this town since September 2008. It changed me forever, I could not imagine going to school anywhere else. Lander University gave me opportunities that many other schools never could have.
As I move out of 138 it will be a very sad day. But I know that my next step in life will be worth it. I will be flying out to Korea on August 18th and arriving on the 19th. I will meet others that are in my province (Gyeongbuk) and we will have a week of orientation for EPIK.
Stay posted throughout the year for stories and updates. I hope to eventually have video style blogging and pod cast. (Putting my mass comm degree to use).
