Flights Set in Motion

I would like to start off this post by acknowledging everyone who has donated to my cause. To my greatest excitement I would like to announce that I finished fundraising over $1,050! It was an amazing feat and I couldn't of done it without the help from my friends and family. On that note I would like to say thank you to my latest sponsors;
  • Terry and Namoi Beckel (Nana and Papa)
  • Tom and Lisa McKnight
You guys helped me to make this dream possible and I cannot say thank you enough!

To my dismay, I have still not been placed in a host family. But I have not let this damper my spirits, I pray and hope everyday that the day I am placed with my host family will come sooner, rather than later.

On a happier note, my departure and return flights have been scheduled! I leave for Las Angeles on January 24th. While there I will meet with other AFS students for what they call a "Gateway Orientation". After spending the night in LA, I will leave for New Zealand on January 25th, at 10:00pm, and arrive in Auckland on January 27th, at 8:00am. The combination of the changing time zones, and the long flight will make for one long day!

Thank you for reading, and I will update my blog as soon as I get more information on my journey abroad!

    For the born traveller, travelling is a besetting vice. Like other vices, it is imperious, demanding its victim's time, money, energy and the sacrifice of comfort.

    “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
