I am currently a Junior at Marietta College and I am deep within the planning process of what I hope to be one of the best experiences of my life. Two months from today, I will be leaving the United States for the "Land Down Under" and studying abroad in Australia for the spring 2010 semester.
I got the idea to start this blog from a friend of mine, who is quite into blogging himself. I thought that it was a great idea considering I was always told by my world traveling grandfather to write at least something in journal every day of your trip. I tend to trust him because seven continents and over 200 countries later, you learn a thing or two about travel.
While I can't promise an everyday entry, there should be fairly regular posts from me, as I am on the computer almost constantly. Besides, having a blog about my travels will give my expensive laptop a break from homework, Facebook and Farmville. That's right I said Farmville. I don't care who laughs, I like it! :-)
My goal with this is to keep friends and family up to date before, during and after my trip. Never fear friends and family, I will e-mail you too but because I am horrible at returning e-mail, texts, phone calls, and everything in between this hopefully provide for a more steady stream of updates.
If I get some time in the next couple of days, I will write a backstory post so everyone is caught up on where I am concerning planning and such.
Cheers!
P.S. this is not an official blog of Marietta College or Bond University. I am just a humble student writing about my experiences.
