I am so excited for my travels this year! Today I 1. claimed my Turkish Airlines miles from my trip to Tanzania & Istanbul, 2. mailed in my boarding passes from my Cost Rica trip to Miles & Smiles to claim those miles, too 3. started my budget & fundraising spreadsheets, & 4. contacted a TEFL Institute advisor to start my study abroad application. 

I had originally planned to study abroad in Madrid, Spain for my TEFL Certification, but the program start date for Spain is June 3rd, 2013. I don’t graduate until the second week of June (God willing), therefore I won’t be able to apply to this program since I’ll still be in school. So now that I am not going to Spain… I am applying for Brazil! I am more excited about Brazil than I was for Spain, actually ☺

I still have to plan out my trip to Thailand in October through CIEE. The application is lengthy, but this here is my ultimate goal. I’ll be Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Thailand from Fall 2013 - (?) 2014, God willing. 

I hope to visit other countries in South America and Southeast Asia while I am there. 

Wherever I end up in the world, come visit me.
