Well, I am so so very close! Currently sitting in the Detroit airport, at gate A24 with a little under an hour to go until boarding. My whole family drove me to the airport which was nice, and I’ve been here about 2 hours. I cannot even really fathom that I am actually here now, watching our flight attendants and pilot enter the gate. Tomorrow morning I will be in London (meeting up with another girl from my program and exploring together hopefully!) and the next day in Capetown! Crazy. Maybe it will become real once I’m in the air. Or maybe when I am actually in Africa. Or maybe after I’ve been there a month.
Anywho…I have some goals I would like to share with you all for the next 5 months!
- Love people
- Make at least 10 lifelong friendships
- Begin the understand the current state of Africa
- Bike around in and out of Capetown
- Bike up and down Table mountain
- Visit Kate in Pretoria
- Make relationships with the organization I’m working with
- Meet/ play with children
- Go kloofing (or canyoning) google this-sounds like fun to me J
- Wine tours
- Become a more confident leader
- Understand and respect culture
- Learn a new language (or two)
- Surfing lessons
- Try LOTs of new foods
- Challenge myself physically/ socially/ spiritually/mentally
- Join a club or society at the University of Capetown
If any of you have other suggestions for goals, please share J
