Away we go!

I can't believe this is actually happening! Starting this blog is making me super excited for this journey that I haven't even been able to think about due to school and finals and whatnot. Today's my birthday and it just hit me that it's been a full 10 years since I've wanted to go to Italy and find a little old Italian grandma and learn how to bake biscotti with her haha. Watching Letters To Juliet a few days ago has definitely increased my appetite for the adventure as well. As I continue to think about it, I'm super happy that I chose the current program (Tuscania) instead of another one I had been debating about (Rome) simply for the fact that I'll be living in a little baby village and will have the full opportunity to explore. It's so cool to think that I'm finally giving into this feeling, this calling I've had for as long as I can remember. Sure I'm scared...and travel? Holy cats - I've never traveled internationally by myself before, but whatever, that's part of the experience I guess! Bring it on! haha oh boy...

I have yet to pack or truly plan for the trip, but that'll have to happen soon considering I leave in less than a week! I guess all I can say for now is qui andiamo!
