"Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." -Miriam Beard

Returning Home

Life is a journey!  It's hard to imagine what life was like for me before my trip to Ghana.  I know it sounds so strange to most, but being in Ghana changed me in such a significant way.  I had always felt a tug on my arm to travel, but never had I thought I would find a second home.  Almost 2 full years ago I traveled to Africa, Ghana, for the first time.  Last month, I took a risk and applied for a 6 month position in Ghana.  I dove into the idea, excited, happy, elated, nervous if I would be chosen for the position.  A month later, I have given notice to my full time job, purchased plane tickets, begun to say my goodbyes to coworkers,  and while I'm still a bit nervous about finances (that's just my type A personality for you), I have never been happier.  Ghana...my home again!  Departure date: May 31, 2013!
