Prelude to the my travels

The night before another "trip of a lifetime."  I am kind of disappointed this is the first time I have done a blog for my travels, but I am looking forward to sharing my experiences.  The next month I will be in Ndola, Africa working/volunteering for President Moffat at Northrise University.  So far, my volunteer work will consist of working on the farm at the university, tutoring business students, and helping out at the local orphanage.  The last week will consist of Moffat and I exploring the city of Livingston and going to a small safari in the African "bush".  

Volunteering in Africa is going to be an amazing and life changing experience.  After finishing my Africa adventure, my itinerary continues on to Europe where I will be backpacking with Patrick Driscoll, Andrew Likens, and so far, Bubba Botsford.  Our "graduation" trip is still in the making, but adventures include renting a car in Italy for a week, exploring the island of Ibiza, visiting friends in Madrid and Paris, and then off to Prague and Amsterdam before capping it off at Oktoberfest.  Its going to be much harder to communicate then because of the consistent traveling, but I hope through this blog that I am able to keep in touch with friends and family!
