Oh, this is the start of something good. Don't you agree?

This is the blog I'll be using to share my adventures and experiences while abroad in Cape Town, South Africa for the next 4.5 months.

Currently, departure day less than 3 weeks out and I look forward to it, but with a heavy heart. I've had a great couple months at home catching up with my family and getting to know an amazing little boy I've been taking care of and his awesome mom. I also had the opportunity to get back to SBP and lifeguard for a while which was heavy on the nostalgia and light on the responsibility-- my kind of work.

While I'll certainly look back when I leave this time unlike the first time I hopped on a plane to leave home, I'm ready to begin this journey. The clock's counting down the seconds until the weight of my white coat will cage me in New Orleans and now is the time for me to enjoy being free. So I'm tearing up my roots again to see what else is out there.

If it moves you, use this blog to come with me. I'll do my best to update it often with pictures, stories, and introductions for all the people I meet.

My Love Over Oceans,

A
