And it begins...

This is how I am starting this journey.

With an empty suitcase and an open mind.

The suitcase will be filled in no time at all, but my mind has much learning to do. Living completely out on my own in a different country, knowing next to no one - there is so much to learn. I cannot seem to stop pondering the possibilities of just my first few steps into Scotland. What will it be like? Who will I meet? Who am I even living with? There are so many unanswered questions awaiting me.

As I am approaching my last hours in the US, the reality of my adventure is inching ever forward. The possibilities are endless, as well as the opportunities to learn. In school, through the environment, through people and my self. I am so excited to embark on this life changing experience... St. Augustine put it best when he said "the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."

There is so much out there to see. The unknown is calling my name.
