I leave in five short days!

I leave in only five days for Ghana, Africa and I will not return until the middle of June!! I am extremely excited to depart from New Jersey and arrive in the foreign land of Accra, but I know I will soon long for all who are staying behind. I will try to periodically update the blog to keep anyone who is interested in finding out about my travels up to date. 

While abroad I hope to meet new people and become emerged in a culture that is so different from my own. Hopefully, the experience I have there will change my perspective on many of the aspects of everyday life. 

I have heard crazy stories about what to expect, but I will form my own opinions in my own time and report them back to everybody! My biggest worry is probably the driving situation which I have heard is insane. I just hope that I will be able to get around without an exorbitant amount of difficulty. Although I am sure it will take me a sufficient amount of time to acquaint myself with the bus systems and appreciate the encounters I will have in my everyday life, I will work tirelessly to adjust to the world around me and deal with any difficulties that are bound to cross my path.
