In 58 days I will be leaving on the adventure of a lifetime. Although I am so excited to travel through 7 countries in 13 months, I am struggling a bit with packing. Due to the fact that I will be backpacking through 6 countries and living in Tanzania for 11 months of my trip I am trying to pack a box to ship to Tanzania with my clothes for Africa and then a backpack for the other 2 months of my trip. I want to ship my box of clothes and supplies to my friends in Tanzania now so I can be sure it gets there before I leave. In the process I have also been trying to think about what I need in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. This has been a bit difficult due to the fact that each country has a different climate. New Zealand and Australia will be in the middle of their winter, Indonesia is an island climate and I will be surfing, and Thailand, Cambodia and Laos will be in monsoon season so I will need rain gear. This creates a problem when I only have one backpack to put all this gear in. And I am a girl who always packs to much- this is making this part of the trip a bit difficult. But it does mean I am a little bit closer. (:
 Kerri ElliottI am a special education teacher who teaches Global Studies and Sociology classes. I love to travel and have spent much of my adult life in other countries. I often hear people say to me, "Wow, I wish I could do that." My response to them is often, "Why not?" One of my favorite quotes is... "Life is a daring adventure or it is nothing." I choose to make it a daring adventure. Here is my adventure as I collide with other cultures around the world. I hope you enjoy. Feel free to make comments along the way and share your thoughts, I would love to hear them. CategoriesAll ArchivesDecember 2012 Categories |
