So my story begins here, sitting in my living room frantically trying to get my life organized enough to leave it for 2 months. If you know me (which you probably do if you're bothering to read this), you know that the idea of getting my life organized is a bit of a joke. Nonetheless, it's off I go to Europe, ready or not, for two purposes:
1. To see Sustainability first hand through the shadowing of individuals whose professional mission focuses on the difficult task of being "sustainable", and
2. To have a hell of a good time.
I leave Aug 23rd, and return home what feels like a lifetime from now. I hope this blog allows me to share some thoughts, impressions, stories, and (knowing me), deeply embarrassing moments with those people that I know and love... everyone from family and friends to colleagues and supporters. I don't doubt that you all will learn a lot more about me, whether you want to or not, (as will I!), and I promise to try not to have any TMI (too much information) posts. I sincerely hope you all will keep me company on my trip by blogging back, sharing a laugh or a tidbit from home.
All the best,
T-minus 25 days 'till departure
Challenges
A good friend suggested I ask each of you to give me a challenge... something that will push me to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. I laughed when he said it, because my first thought was "oh God, you don't know my friends.... I don't want to sell my body in the Red Light District!" I've decided it's an excellent idea, and I hope that each of you will take a few minutes to think of something that you wish for me to do. If it's not PG, don't post it... send it to me in an email instead :) All challenges welcome.
