As I prepare for my worldly adventures, I pause to reflect on my reasons for going. Friendship. Excitement. New adventures. These are things I long for, what I dreamed of as I sat in a box in Walmart.

I am told that I will be visiting many different locations, climates and time zones. (Note to self: pack melatonin and sunscreen). The cold and snow here do make me long for those warmer climates on my itinerary, though I know I will miss every place I leave behind.

Onward, to new experiences...I wonder where my first stop will be?
