Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Paulo Coelho

Allow me to start off by saying I have no clue if ANYONE, ANYWHERE will EVER read this. And I don’t think I mind. 

My main goal of this project is to track the progress I make toward studying abroad while creating a collection of tips and tricks for others to use in their future adventures. Of course I will not always do things the “right” way and I absolutely anticipate some outright failure on my part but I say hey…bring it on! 

I chose to study abroad not to impress others but to impress myself. While I often tell myself I am a strong and capable young woman that is worthy of awesome stuff in life, I don’t always feel that I chase that awesome stuff. Well, here is my chance! If I can conquer a foreign country (with a very bubbly but terrifying language) I surely can conquer any other goals I set for myself. 

So for now, that is all I have to say!

Thank you for joining me on this adventure!
