Life is About to Take Flight

With only a few hours left, 19 to be exact, I am all packed and ecstatic about my trip. I could have never imagined the way I feel at this very moment with the flight coming so quickly (a combination of anxiety & excitement & disbelief). Many people advised that I extend my stay in London, as it is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I have decided to take such advice and add an extra 6 days! Now I am coming back on July 4th! Another change to my itinerary is the cancellation of the Prague portions, but now I am going to Florence for those 5 free travel days. If you have any suggestions for either London or Florence, please feel free to comment and let me know. I have several ideas already for London, but I'd love more! My daily prayer is that God uses this trip to reveal more of His plan for my life and more of Himself to me. Next time I write will be from Paris, so be looking forward to pictures! <3 Au Revoir

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! I created this blog to tell everyone about my trip to Europe as I'm there because calling everyone daily is simply impractical. So, some basic details about my trip: I will be leaving on May 24th and visiting 6 (maybe 7) cities including Paris, Barcelona, Lauterbrunnen (Swiss Alps), Munich, Rome, and London. I will arrive back at LAX on June 28th. This trip is a study abroad trip with 29 other students in the Communication Major and 2 professors. We'll be studying Nonverbal and Organizational Communication in an international context. ***10 things that I am very excited about: 1) skydiving on my 21st birthday (June 7) over the Swiss Alps 2) riding around Paris on a scooter 3) seeing the Vatican 4) trying out my Spanish in Barcelona 5) playing on European beaches 6) having coffee at an Italian cafe 7) taking pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower 8) Mike's Bike Ride in Munich 9) ridiculously long airplane flights (JK) 10) NEW FOOD! ***I promise to post often and give you all of the juicy details and pictures I can! <3
