Departure

Hi All!

Here I am, in the Detroit airport (sitting outside the NWA Worldperks Club so I can get free internet) blogging for my first time EVER. But I suppose now is as good a time as ever because I'm starting my journey over to Kenya for the next two months.

Now that I've begun my trip and can stop double-checking my packing list, I've reflected a bit on my expectations for the trip. I don't have many, but here they go in no specific order:

1.) To venture into an entirely different culture and learn what life is like as a Kenyan individual.
2.) To learn more about the history and traditions of the Kenyan people.
3.) To try and have a positive effect on those with whom I interact.
4.) To learn about medicine in a third-world country including the challenges facing distribution of care.
5.) To make new friends!
6.) To establish what will hopefully be a lifetime of medical missions.

Stay tuned for the results! Thanks for following me on this awesome adventure :)
