Hello everyone!

This is more of my practice blog =) I haven't done anything exciting yet, but I leave tomorrow night and I'm very excited! Let's hope that I packed well. I am actually able to fit all of my clothes in one suitcase! For those of you who know how terribly I pack- this is an impressive feat for 2 months of packing!

Just to fill everyone in on what I will be doing: I am traveling to Ecuador with Child Family Health International. For the first 5 weeks in Quito I will be taking Spanish classes, living with a host family, and rotating through a couple of different medical clinics throughout Quito. After my program is done, I am going to travel a little more in Ecuador and then go to Peru to climb Machu Picchu and go into the Amazon.

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement and prayer. I will try to update my blog as much as possible to keep you posted on my travels. I'm sure that Ashleigh, Katie, and I will have many adventures.
