Getting the students ready for the Ilemanu study abroad program has taken some time. All of their tickets/IDs/blogs/concerns are prepared. They really do stand in the calm before the whirlwind of new experiences.
I love to go places and talk with people--always have. Connecting to other people around the world centers me, allows me to gain insights into others' perspectives, and helps me understand existence on earth. I've been bumbling around since I was 15, eagerly approaching the expansion of space that travel offers. It's time to record and examine those experiences, to go beyond the mental images and memories, to get away from scribbling in ring-bound travel journals which require nothing more than a repetition of the days events.
