  Finally. Its time to experience some exciting new places and people. To push my boundaries, seek adventure and take a 9 month journey to a variety of countries and places I have always wanted to visit. After some serious planning, the time has come to step forward and with it I hope to grow, learn, develop and return to the US with an even wider appreciation of the world and its people.
