Learning and knowledge. Travel and culture. New things, old things.
Comfort zones exist only to be broken, to give a reason to try harder, try new, try old, try what you find repulsive. Break down those walls, experience the world and the world shall be yours.
Do exactly what you never imagined yourself doing rather than exactly what you've always wanted to do. Look at it this way: every person to ever exist in your dreams, whether you knew them in that dream or not, are people you already know or have met; the ONLY way to introduce new faces, new people, into your dreams is to meet new people!
So apply that to the world. How can you want what you don't know? You can't, so rather, go out and experience what you don't know directly, live in the moment, make decisions on a whim because YOU NEVER KNOW what you never would have known.

| La Chureca |
This is where I'm going in just a few short weeks. La Chureca in Managua, Nicaragua is the largest dump in Central America. I'm not going to the dump specifically, but I do hope to visit it! I'm going on a service trip to Managua, where I will help build a house, work alongside doctors in a hospital, and work with kids in a school. I'll also get to hike a volcano and camp at the peak and visit the Pacific west coast of Nicaragua and camp on the beach! Staying with a host family should be quite the experience, especially with the communication barriers.
Speaking of communication barriers, I HAVE TO LEARN MANDARIN. When I get back from Nicaragua it will be time to expedite myself, my visa, and my suitcases to CHINA!
Yes, China. This decision was made spur of the moment today. I will be going as a volunteer English teacher with International Language Programs. Not sure what's in store for me, not even sure what city I'll be assigned to, but I'm going. It's official.
