Exciting News!!!!

On Friday afternoon 3/27 I enrolled for a 3 week volunteer program in Ayacucho, Peru!! I'll be there from 10/25 - 11/14!!!! Cross-Cultural solutions offered me an alumni discount as well as a discount for traveling during an off-peak time and I couldn't pass it up!
To make things more exciting I'll volunteering this time with my Best-friend Laura and we'll be staying on in Peru for an extra week or so to travel around and see the sights - Cuzco, Machu Picchu, etc.
I'm super stoked to be adding one more chapter to my "book of adventures"!
More to come...

The airfare has been purchased!

Hey everyone! Only 109 more days until I depart for my Tanzanian adventure! I can't believe how quickly it's coming up. It seems like it's only been a few weeks since I made the decision to teach abroad and now it's almost here!
I purchased my airfare today so now it feels really real. Here's my itinerary:

8:50 PM (June 26th) - 8:00 AM (June 27th) from Dulles International to Amsterdam
10:20 AM - 7:45 PM(June 27th) from Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

8:50 PM (August 8th) - 7:00 AM (August 9th) from Kilimanjaro to Amsterdam
1:15 PM - 3:40 PM (August 9th) from Amsterdam to Dulles

I went to a local travel agent to help figure out my flight since it was such a huge distance - I don't know why Southwest doesn't just fly to the Serengeti :) The agent was a huge help! My flight was about $250 and 3 layovers less through him than anything I could find online so I'm super excited!
Next I'll be sending my passport off to get my Visa and then I'll be getting all my crazy shots (Yellow Fever, Ebola??? I guess I'll find out!)
More later...
