NOW OR NEVER! I feel like if I don’t do this now I’ll have a much more difficult time doing it in the future. I have always loved traveling and I studied in Italy for a semester in college (and that really changed me!). I cam back feeling different, more confident, patient, enlightened. Since I’ve been back, I feel like I’ve lost a little of that spice I gained and I miss it! I want to feel alive again 
Getting sick. Getting malaria or having to go to a foreign hospital.
Supportive. Understanding… I’ve been talking about this forever now!!!! My boyfriend is actually planning on going with me

I’ll have a different perspective on what is important in life.
I’m tired of talking about it and I’m ready to do it!
1-2 week vacations are expensive and superficial… you need time to examine the lifestyle and LIVE it.
Too expensive probably – You’d be surprised what you can do if you put your mind to it.
It’s invigorating, insightful, interesting… any other i words?
GO! Make a plan and do it!
