Here's the first, of many. The Philippines Series

I'm exactly two weeks out from embarking on a journey. I'm not sure what to expect, but everyone seems to be expecting for me. My life changing event...

I leave to study and intern in the Philippines, after a quick, but much needed stop in Phoenix to visit family, and a 24-hour layover in Honolulu. I'll be there for the better part of a year.

I don't know what to expect, except for everything new. There's going to be some culture shock, some language block and a lot of adventure.

I'll be attending the University of the Philippines in Los Banos, and then interning on the province of Palawan.

Studying who knows what, (seriously, I have no idea yet which classes I'll be taking), and filming a documentary, I should be pretty busy.

I plan to update as often as possible. I would like to take you all with me on the adventure, so I'm going to do my best to highlight all the parts. Good, bad and in between.

For now, I have a few blogs to post for class, here at MSU, and my last final for the semester to get into my head. So long, talk soon.
