Forever we love

It's official! I will be going to Ghana at the beginning of July until the beginning of August (maybe mid-August) to work in a television studio with Projects-Abroad. I'm really excited to be working in the media industry in another continent! I'm a little nervous about flying alone because it's something I've never done. However, there will be many other volunteers in Ghana when I arrive, and I'm really excited to meet people from all over the world. That's one of the great things about travelling; meeting people from all over the globe! The friendships you develop are everlasting and you end up having a place to call home in many countries. I'm not totally sure of my exact placement in Ghana, but I should be finding out any time now. I will be living with a host family in either Cape Coast or Accra. This is a great way to learn about the culture and language of a country. For anyone wanting to get away and try something different then the resort deal, ...

Another school year is done, and I'm off to Italy tomorrow. It still hasn't fully hit me yet! I'll be spending the next month in Italy first in Rome, then exploring various cities throughout Sicily. I'll be taking this adventure with my mom and boyfriend. My mom was born in Palermo, Sicily and hasn't been back since she moved to Canada when she was a young girl. I'm really excited for her because I know she has been waiting for the day when she will go back to the place she came from. I'm excited to see where she grew up and meet relatives I've only heard about. So, the plan is to first stay in Rome for a few days with a friend. After that, we fly to Catania to pick up our rental car and drive for a week through Sicily, exploring all the wonderful places, and ending in Palermo. In Palermo, we will be staying with family and exploring the surrounding cities and islands. Then we are going to Tunisia in Africa for a few days. It's going to be an adventu...

Well, I've finally decided it's time to start a blog. After reading about the adventures the Lost Girls have had in the past year, I became inspired. For those of you who don't know who the Lost Girls are, they are three girls from New York who decided to leave their jobs and go explore the world for a year. Those are my kind of people! You can visit their site at http://lostgirlsworld.blogspot.com/ . It's definetely worth looking at. I think having my own blog is a great idea and I'm really excited about it. This will be a great way to tell you about my travel experiences and also hear some of yours. So I thought I would start off by letting you know a bit about what I do, where I have been and where I'm going. I am currently a student studying Broadcasting: Radio, Television and Film. I'm in my second year of a three year course. There is a lot of work involved in my program but it's all fun and whatever any of you are doing, you should be having fun t...

Traveling is my addiction and helping people is passion. I want to see the wolrd, meet interesting people, try new things, take chances, explore, learn and share my experiences with the world while helping as many people as I can along the way. I am extremelly passionate about helping people and I want to spend my life inspiring others to want to take action and help others in need as well. I truly believe that if we work together and have compassion and understanding for every living being, we can change the world!
