life in a backpack and thanks,

3 days to go and I am sitting here packing everything I think I will need for the next 3 months! Lets see how many times I will have to reorganize and re-pack. I hope it's only 5. The sun is shining and I am listening to "tropical spanish music" and couldn't be smiling any bigger!


I'm so glad I got to see family yesterday and some friends on the weekend for a "goodbye" get together. Thank you to everyone who came out. Special thanks to my mom, who helped nurse me back to health and bought delicious desserts to celebrate with later that night. You've helped me big time in preparation for this trip xo
