Hello everybody! I am well aware that I am on my way back to Philly from my last trip of the summer without having done any updates since my first trip in Kansas. Well, I'm going to attempt to fix that. There's a lot of stuff that went on that is very personal to me, and with respect to those involved, I'll make those entires private.

But first, I have a few lists on mind. I've learned a lot from my trips this summer and it has inspired me to want to go many other places before I settle in one place for a while. I would love more than anything to take a roadtrip down to FL since I have a lot of friends living there too. If anyone is interested in being my traveling companion, please do not hesitate to let me know!

I also have a lot of things I have decided to do in preparation for NTI and while at NTI.

Why am I listing things on here and not in a word document?

Well, when I came home after Kansas, my computer crashed. Yes, crashed. I lost everything. 13 years of poetry. So I figured, if I just publish my photos and write everything in blogs from now on, I won't lose them, right? Ok, well, hopefully. So here goes.

Places to explore in America over the next year:

-Chicago, IL (hang with Grace and her friend)

-Minneapolis, MN

-----Doubt I'll see them all, it will really all depend on if I know anyone from here and flight costs, car, etc. So yes, PLEASE get in touch with me if either you'd like to meet up with me there, let me sleep on your floor, carpool with me and/or travel with me!!

Stuff to do in prep for, and while at NTI:
