THOUGHTS BEFORE LEAVING

Greetings!! This is the inaugural entry to my blog I'll be updating during my time in Europe. More specifically, Maastricht, Netherlands. Maastricht is argued to be the oldest city in the Netherlands, and located in the southern tip of the Dutch province of Limburg. In the course of 3 months I will be taking 14 hours of class, taught by Baylor and Dutch professors at Universiteit Maastricht, and visiting a dozen (or so) countries in the mean time. While I walk the streets of Interlaken, run to catch the train in Barcelona, hold on to my passport with dear life and stand out like a typical American with my oversized backpack and camera in hand--my wish is to update and entertain my few reader(s) with news of my trip and embarrassing and shocking stories along the way. Bags are over packed, alarm set for the morning, too excited to sleep...Europe.
