[9.22.09] 3 Days before I'm GONE!

Its funny to me how quickly I make life changing choices. Five days ago I was going to stay in Boise, Idaho until Christmas. Three weeks before that I was going to be in LA for at least a year. I had the job locked in and the downtown apartment on the horizon.

And now my plane leaves for Australia in three days. Excuse me?

Damn.

In the rushed research that ensued my decision to go down under, I realized something: It would be great to have a blog dedicated to how a 21 year old recent college grad with no backpacking experience and an appetite for new experiences goes about living the life a brand new country. Honestly if I could find one somewhere out there about the same thing, I would read it. Not that I'm scared of going into the unknown. That I'm looking forward to. I just want to make sure I make the most of it.

So this blog is a chronicle, a critique, and hopefully someday, a tool. My thanks to Vince, who proposed this trip and who I will be meeting up with upon arrival. LMK.

Chance me trip.
