Mistakes...

I also solemnly do swear to proofread my blogs from now on. There may be a few mistakes in that first blog, so please excuse them.

Why Blog?

So why am I blogging? There are a couple of reasons why I am starting to blog now and not in 6 months or 10 months ago:

1. I am currently pretty much unemployed, which means I have a little bit of time on my hands. When I am not filling cannolis, coaching soccer, studying for the GREs or working on my Peace Corps and grad school applications, I will be blogging.
2. I believe that I have some stories to tell- a lot of them will tell the tales of my study abroad days, while other will be about trips taken.
3. My dream job is to be a travel writer, so why not start now, here, on this blog.

These are my main reasons for blogging. I may add to this list further down the road or I may totally change my mission statement for this blog, but at the moment, this is how I feel. There may or may not be anyone reading this, and that is fine. This is something that I am doing for myself. I have things to say and will be saying them here.
