I know it's been a while since I posted and also that last time I said I was going to start up again, something I wasn't able to do. I felt like now was as good a time as any to let everyone know what's going on. This is going to be a short post.
Here are some of the bigger things that I would like to mention (some of which people already know):
1) I will no longer be a NY resident
1) I have recently been accepted to serve as a community health volunteer with the Peace Corps in Ecuador. I head out May 17th for 3 months of pre-service training in the capital city, Quito, and then will relocate to serve for an additional 24 months. This is something I will be extensively blogging.
2) Upon getting accepted and having a plan for the next 3 years, with all living/food/discretionary costs covered and then some, I've decided to use what I've made here in NY to travel a bit before I head out.
- To my Michigan friends/family, I will be in Traverse Nov. 26th - Dec. 1st and then again from end of February until I leave May 17th.
- To my Chicagoland friends/family, I will be around Chicago/Crystal Lake from Dec. 8th - Dec. 28th.
- To my Indian friends, I will in India from Jan. 6th - Feb. 2nd exploring the west and southwest areas.
- To everyone else, my family and I will be in South Africa beginning of Feb for 2 weeks.
- And to my New Yorker comrades, the time in between those trips I will be in New York. After February I will be heading back to Michigan.
3) I wanted to give thanks to my friends/family/colleagues/professors with whom I've been in contact with during my time in New York for all the help and support you have all given me. My situation would be quite different had I not had that support beam.
I don't have too many great pictures to go along with the post so I posted this one. This is from my first 5k run. It was more like a music festival with a 5k run included.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the read. Will post more as I start my travels.
Until next time!!
