So for everyone who doesn't know, I am going to Ecuador tomorrow for eight weeks. I will try to update this blog as often as I can though I will be very limited in such capabilities. I am going as a required internship for my major and certificate program. There will also be a study abroad portion at the end of the trip where I will meet up with a group from UGA. The first five weeks, I will be pretty much by myself; I will be working on a farm that the owners use to help teach other farmers more sustainable agricultural practices. So, I won't technically be alone. I have my host family. I am really excited for this opportunity. It is scary somewhat but how boring would life be if we always played it safe? It won't be the longest I have gone without seeing my parents. That would be the first three months of this past spring semester. The longest I have been on a trip was nine weeks which was to Houston last summer. So at eight weeks this will quadruple any length of time I have been out of the US at a given time. So, I ask you to bear with me as I offer rambling posts that will not be able to capture the full excitement and awesomeness of what actually happened.
A la aventura!
