phew..

Well, it is Monday and I have survived! I got to Croatia safely and actually met up with Christina and Bree immediately! (These are the girls I will be living with for the next 8 weeks!) We then had to take a bus from Zagreb, Croatia to Tuzla... that was interesting. Needless to say the bus driver ripped us off because we are American... anyways, you can be sure that I will be thoroughly brushing up on the Bosnian language to ensure that will NOT happen again (lets keep our fingers crossed).

The apartment that we are staying in is really cute! Surprisingly, it is my bosss (ok..real quick.. these key boards are all weird..im in the office of the ngo that i am working for...and I can not figure out where the apostrophe is..so forgive my entry here. An example for you... the y button is really a z..and the z button is really a y. weird.) parents house. They have a summer home that they will be staying in for the next 8 weeks. But I thought that was soooo nice of them! And they cooked us dinner and everything! But, it was nice for everyone to leave and for us to get comfortable in the apartment and settle in.

Right now, I am at work! I am working with CRP Mercy Corps. So, we will be working till about noon our time. It is only 9am right now. Then we get the rest of the time to just explore and relax!

Ok, I have to go! I will post pictures as soon as I find an inernet cafe today!!

let's do this

ahh, holy crapola! I'm in the airport and getting ready to go!! Well, not exactly I still have about an hour and a half until I board my flight to Toronto. Then from there I have an over night flight to Frankfurt (it's too bad I couldn't actually explore Germany..) & then to Croatia! But seriously, I can't complain - I'm going to freakin' Bosnia! (whoooooo)

I had a great last couple of days in the states- hanging out and enjoying myself ;) ** But, I am pretty excited/nervous/excited/anxious/excited about all of the experiences that I am going to have!!!! Especially the fact that I am getting this opportunity to travel (at the ripe age of 23) and it's my first time out of the country! (swweeeetttt)

But, I'm going to miss you all a lotl! I will update this as often as possible! :)


Now.. let's hope I don't still have that baggage curse...here's praying to actually getting my luggage when I get to Croatia! ;)


MUAH!!!

And so it begins..

Hey Everyone!

So, thanks to my Aunt Nancie's idea, I have decided to join the bloggers world. : ) (Geeze- before you know it I could possibly start twittering... but let's hope not). Any-who so I will try to keep you all up-to-date with what I will be doing while I am in Bosnia. I've just started to prepare for my trip & I will be leaving this Sunday 6/7 !! I'm a little anxious about the travel - I think it's just under 20 hrs total.. yeah, I know.. haha.

Well, I miss you all & I will be in touch soon!! <3
