The Journey begins (almost)

Well, as I mentioned in my MySpace space (does that seem funny to say?), I am beginning to document my adventure which will officially begin on July 18th, 2006. Presently, I am preparing all that I need for my long journey... I went to REI yesterday and got some stuff (boots, etc.). There are a few more things I need but I have plenty of time.

Just a quick summary of where I will be and what I'll be doing there:

1) First stop is in New York for about half a day where I will meet my uncle and then head over to Santo Domingo, DR (where I'm from). I will be there for about a 10 days trying to party as much as possible... :p

2) Barcelona, Spain - I will be completing a CELTA course (http://www.tesol-spain.com/) for a month
3) San Sepolcro, Italy - I will be doing the Seattle University Italy Study tour for two weeks.
4) Camino de Santiago pilgrimage - this is the highlight of my trip... I'm expecting to complete it in about 30-40 days, although my only restriction is the immigration limitations.

More to come...

Quick update

Well, I have tried to start a blog for a while. Don't really know why, but I just wanted one... you know one of those things... The problem was I had no idea what the hell I was going to put on it, it just seemed like a good idea to have a blog.

But now I have a REALLY good reason to have a blog: to keep track of my European adventure, and all who will be reading this know what it's all about so no need to retell the itinerary here.

Just a few comments...

I have been asked exactly why am I doing this trip, and to be honest I still don't know 100%, all I know is that I can't stay here feeling stuck. I guess I want to find something different, a life's purpose, an adventure, maybe love, who knows... I'm hoping that when I find what I'm looking for I will know.


My next post should tell more of what's happening...
