in the five days i have before i leave for rio, i have so many things to finish up and deal with and do, not to mention the delicate task of packing when i am one of the world's most notorious overpackers. i am nervous, i am scared, but i am also ready. and excited. it's not like i haven't done this before, set off for a new country to live for awhile. but it's been a year since i lived abroad and the old jitters have returned. but somehow, things are slowly falling into place and i though i am perfectly content here at home, i can already feel myself moving away from this life into a new one, one of which i have no idea what to expect.

I have complete faith in you and your disciplined ability to Do What You Have to Do! And I can't wait to read your blog about your new life. (You should add "riogringa" to the keyword list, by the way.) Also, I found a gringa blogicita by a woman living in Honduras...) Love ya!!

I understand that you are nervous, excited, and overpacking, but I'm wondering what your intentions or dreams for this adventure may be...
Stay safe, take pictures, paint, explore, and discover. How will you know when to move on?
