recap.

1st February blog- whoa i've been slacking. but i'm back. and have plenty to share.

i'm moving to Costa Rica February 19th- crazy soon! as you can imagine there are a mix of emotions churning inside of me- and my stomach has been doing back flips for weeks because of the anxiety building up inside of me. but i am EXCITED. everyone keeps telling me how amazing this experience will be so i'm just waiting to go out and experience it- not knowing is always the hardest part.

the great news is: i have a job waiting for me once i get there! woohoo. that definitely takes a big weight off my chest. and if the school turns out to be as great as the website and everything else make it out to be, it will be so dope.

i just saw my family today and it was a pleasure to see how much they support me and see this as a significant move in my life. there was no negativity, just positive love and good wishes being spread around. i love when people can push their fears and paranoia's out of their mind for the joy of someone else.

also, for those lovers of: travel, the betterment of the human race, peace, and love...check out couchsurfing.com - i must say that this website has been a tremendous help for me in preparing for my journey abroad. i've connected with people in Costa Rica, both Costa Ricans and expatriates and found a community of people that are beyond willing to help me get acquainted with the country. they've offered me advice and friendship, which is invaluable at a time of transition such as this. i suggest you all check it out [and become my friend]. even if you don't have intentions of traveling or hosting people, it's great to connect with people that want to break the walls of difference and hate and unite all cultures.

inspire me:
“When we get out of the glass bottle of our ego and when we escape like the squirrels in the cage of our personality and get into the forest again, we shall shiver with cold and fright. But things will happen to us so that we don’t know ourselves. Cool, unlying life will rush in.”
~D.H. Lawrence

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”
~Miriam Beard

paz y amor SIEMPRE.
