I wanted to inform all of my readers that I am still alive, and I have been working to get my website www.hopscotchtheglobe.com up and running. This is the first time I have put together a website, so it has been taking me longer than anticipated; but I promise it will be worth the wait!
In the meantime, I have some exciting new to share with you all.
Back in November, I wrote about The Lost Girls and how they were the first people that really inspired me to want to drop everything and travel the world for a year like they did. The first time I came across their blog was almost three years ago, and now I am proud to announce that I am officially the new Lost Girl contributor! Check out my first published article that I wrote for The Lost Girls: http://www.lostgirlsworld.com/2010/07/5-tips-for-editing-travel-videos/
For more about the Lost Girls, visit their website at www.lostgirlsworld.com. If you haven't already purchased their new book titled "The Lost Girls. Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World," I highly recommend doing so. A portion of the the sales will be donated to Village Volunteer's Butterly Project, an educational scholarship program for young women in Kenya. I just finished reading the book myself, and I have never felt more excited dropping everything to travel. Which leads me to my next piece of exciting news...
On September 15, 2010, I will be boarding a plane to fly to the first of many destination on my year-long adventure around the globe! I have decided to quit my jobs, sell my stuff and leave everything behind to travel to places I've only dreamt about. I will be starting my year-long journey in Iceland followed by England, Scotland, India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, Malaysia, New Zealand, Turkey and Greece. I'm sure my list of destinations will change throughout my journey as I don't have a set itinerary and flexibility and spontaneity are two words that I live by when I travel. To learn more about my adventure and what I will be doing, you will have to wait for the launch of my website in a couple of weeks. I have some very excited projects on the go, and I can't wait to share them with you all. So stay patient and get ready to join me on my exciting adventure across the globe!
