This is actually happening

It's really starting to hit me. In 14 days I will be in Africa. Half a globe away from everything I know. This is so intense. (Just like camping…get it?)


I am so excited and so scared. How do you mentally prepare for something quite like this? I will feel so open and exposed, lucky then that I am already an overly open individual. I am doing my best to not place expectations on this journey, but it's difficult not to when a dream is finally coming true.


How bad will the bad days be?
How good will the good days be?
What will be my greatest challenges and successes?
Do I have what it takes? (Ok, ok of course I do. But still.)


Wow. It's really happening. I almost can't believe it.
