In preperation for my move home, I’ve been cleaning out my childhood room, a task that I have put off for oh, about ten years. I don’t think I’ve lived in this room for any decent about of time for about that long and years worth of junk, much of it not even mine, has accumulated. Apparently my family thinks that my room is the place where furniture goes to die.

Never in my life have I felt so old. I don’t even remember half that stuff, from what feels like multiple lifetimes ago and I can’t help but wonder who was that girl? I’d also like to know why she thought it was important to save Mr. Lambert’s 7th grade history notes and when she expected to EVER need or want them again.

But I’m also starting to get excited about the next stage of my life. This coming August I’ll be relocating myself and my business to South America. To live and work in a foreign country for a significant amount of time has been a dream of mine since high school. (I guess that’s one part of that girl.) I’ve been planning this for years and am so. excited. that it’s finally coming true.

The plan is still in formulation but right now I’m planning on going to Ecuador for at least the first three months. Get a small apartment for myself in earshot of the ocean. Little kitchen, hammock and wireless internet. I am also planning on spending a significant amount of time in Colombia, a place I’ve been close to but never been. I will mostly likely take a few weeks to travel up the coast of Ecuador and Colombia to find the perfect spot to settle.

Cartegena
Medillion (hoping to see Vince!)
Santa Marta

Perhaps Costa Rica, maybe Brazil. There is much to be conquered. Right now my time frame is 6 months to a year but in reality, there are few limits. If I’m working there, I can stay until I get bored.
