Welcome to my blog! The title is a tribute to my upcoming semester at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa. This entry was inspired by this Mark Twain quote:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
I try to apply this philosophy to my everyday life, but it is even more relevant as I prepare to go abroad. Exactly one month from today I will be on a plane en route from New York, USA to Johannesburg, SA. This will be my first time abroad for more than a week and by myself, and I am both nervous and excited!
