Hello All! On May 12th 2010 I will embark on a journey of a lifetime. I will be spending 28 days touring, exploring, and discovering Southeast Asia. Yes, that is right, Southeast Asia. When I tell people I am going to Southeast Asia I get mixed responses. Some people find it fascinating and are envious and others, like my parents, cannot understand why anyone would want to go to Cambodia or Vietnam. My answer to them is why not? I think it is easy for us to be so engrossed in our own lives that we forget that there are other worlds and cultures out there. Plus, I like being uncomfortable. I think we learn the most about ourselves and our capabilities when we are in situations where we are completely out of our element. My intent for the aJENda is to take you along on the journey. I hope that through this blog you will be able to share my excitement, anxiousness, homesickness (because I know I will be homesick and I'm woman enough to admit it) and most importantly the adventure. I think life is all about adventure and discovery. I know while in Asia I will discover many qualities and traits about myself while discovering completely different cultures and ways of living. Needless to say, I'm very excited about this trip!
