Welcome to my new home on the web. Looking back on my life so far, it seems to neatly fall into 4- to 7-year-long chapters. The most recent chapter, which was focused on my first few years of full-time work, culminated in my experience in the PULSE program in Kumasi, Ghana. The word "life-altering" is not too big to describe how that opportunity has changed me. (If you made the transition from my Ghana blog, you probably have a decent understanding of why I want to be out here sharing my life with all of you.)
But what happens once the life-changing experience ends? I posted a few times within the Ghana blog about it, but to me, a new chapter in life calls for a new place to share these thoughts. Now that I've been back in my "real" life for over 6 months, I still see the world in a different way. Over time, the rawness and newness of my experiences are fading, only to be replaced for an even deeper appreciation for the gift I was given that so few ever have--the opportunity to step outside myself and my life and see the world in a totally new way. I get little glimpses of that perspective whenever I travel anywhere, whether it's across the state or across the globe. It's part of the reason why I love to travel, whether it's for work or for pleasure or both.
This blog will include glimpses of my travel experiences, along with thoughts on--as the title indicates--Life, the Universe, and Some (other) Things. Hope you enjoy the ride.
