What's This All About?

This is it…my new blog. It’s taken me a while to finally construct this page because I was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted it to encompass. I wanted the majority of the content to be daily posts about where I would be and doing during my journey. While I also wanted to show readers how to travel around the world for close to nothing, focusing on subjects like working and volunteering abroad, and how to fulfill your dreams and do what only you were meant to do. So I’ve broken it down like this:

• Before my departure, I will post an article relating my progress towards leaving home every two weeks.

• After leaving, I will try to post any new things daily in a journal-like format including pictures and videos.

• Every month I will either post an article about how I was able to do what I did, or motivational tidbits where people I admire explain how they did what they did and how you can take hold of your life. As well as any books, movies, videos, and pictures I find inspiring.

If you have a suggestion on what should be on this blog, email me at firstsliveone@gmail.com. And to close this post I leave you with a question that changed my life forever. It was given to me my senior year of high school by a teacher whose name I sadly can’t remember. Now I ask you that same question.
