Packing. Unpacking. Repacking. For the last four years, I have been in transit. Upon graduating from college, I decided that I was not quite ready to settle down in one place. As my friends continue onto graduate school and/or the working world, I decided (once again) to pick up my things and head somewhere new.

I began this blog as a way to document my life in transit. Tomorrow I leave for Tanzania where I will be for the next few months. Although I will only be overseas for a short amount of time, I think this trip will be one of the most meaningful experiences I have had. I tend to forget how I feel in certain moments in time or certain conversations, the little things that make up the whole. I hope this blog will serve as an insight to my life in a different place and provide some perspective for those seeking it.

I am going to Tanzania with a student-led non-profit called One Heart Source where I will teach HIV/AIDS awareness to children. When I leave tomorrow from SFO, I will fly into Dar es Salaam on Saturday where I will then take a ferry to Zanzibar. I'll be in Zanzibar for a week before heading back to Dar es Salaam where I will then take a 10 hour bus to Arusha and meet up with the other people of One Heart Source and from there, I will begin my teaching.

Bags are packed, goodbyes have been said. My next update will be from across the Atlantic!
