3 Days.... I am finally finished packing for my trip to Peru! As I sit on the couch watching Big Brother 16 I can't help but think about the packing that I have just completed and my approaching departure date. There are many things on my mind including, but not limited to the upcoming World Cup matches and the next month of big brother I will miss. However none of this is that big of a deal to me considering I am taking the trip of a lifetime to the "Land of the Incas." This experience thus far has made me realize even more how much our lives are centered on technology and entertainment which makes it a little weird to imagine my life for the next month without my computer, tablet, or the blue LED light that blinks when my phone gets a notification. I cannot predict what my feelings will be during my layover in Florida (the sunshine state) knowing I am so close to my best friends yet I will not be able to see them. On the flip side of things, ever since I received a post-card from my two leaders, I have been constantly thinking about meeting my group for the first time and fantasizing about: crossing the equator, trying new cuisine (I love food), and looking at a new landscapes and ways of life as well as holding majority of my conversations in Spanish. I am sure that there will be a few bumps during my trip both literally and figuratively, but I know that I will have a great experience! Until then, I am spending as much time with my family as possible and drinking lots of water to prepare my body for the elevation.
*Today, I took my first photos with my new camera... They came out great! Thanks again to everyone who has donated to my GoFundMe account!
