Up, up, and away.

In a few hours I will be aboard a plane headed across the world to start off a whole new portion of my summer. These past three weeks at home have been wonderful. My time was filled with family, friends and plenty of adventures. In fact the summer so far has been a series of great adventures, each reminding me how lucky I am. From Miami with Mixed Co to New Haven with some of my favorite Yalies and now Seattle with the family and some the crazy people I call my best friends here, I have been surrounded by all good things. Summer has been amazing so far, and the next two months are sure to be more of the same.

With this blog, I hope to capture the experiences that I have abroad. First, I'll be in London for a few days, visiting my cousin Shirley and exploring the city. Then I'll zip over to Turkey for a month to do an Archaeology class. After that comes some hopping around Europe with my sister and finally wrapping up the summer with the World Youth Day convention in Madrid before heading state-side for Mixed Co's Rush Retreat.

This summer is going to be a random assortment of enriching experiences and my emotions are flickering through an equally random collection, but each is laced with excitement.
