Getting Ready/First Entry

I recently deleted my xanga account because I felt it was time to start something new and different. I didn't give it a farewell, and I didn't tell my sporadic followers where I was going. I want to start fresh, and this blog isn't going to be maintained like the last one. I've had my xanga account since senior year of high school, and pretty much no one I know that is my age updates their xanga as often as I did, or even about the same things I blogged about. I just graduated college in June, and now it's time to move on.

My passion in life is traveling. I plan on making a career out of it one day. But before I do I am going to be doing a bit of traveling beforehand. This blog is meant to chronicle those journeys; the observations, the frustrations, the laughter, the anger, the awkward, the comical, but most importantly (and the purpose of this blog) the interesting and the informational.

In less than one week I am going to be heading to London. The following few days are going to be hectic as I tie up loose ends and little by little move my things out of my Chicago apartment. The experience I am about to have in England is definitely going to be memorable. The stories are practically writing themselves (for starters, I have no return ticket to the United States as of yet). The next entry will probably be once I get to England when I can comment on my first English experience since high school (when I was last in England). So keep checking back for photos and commentary.
