This is it...only 5 days until I leave for Peru, and 6 days until I step foot in Cusco. I'm feeling a big mix of emotions but overall, I am very excited and equally as nervous. It's kind of a scary thing to not know at all what to expect, but that is also what makes it exciting.
I'm looking forward to challenging myself in every way possible - traveling alone, living in a foreign country alone, working with children, learning a new language... it is all very overwhelming.
I know that it will not be all smiles and sunshine. I know that at times I will get frustrated, lonely, homesick, and discouraged. That is part of this experience, and I am ready to conquer those feelings and soak up everything to the fullest.
5 more days...and still lots to get done!
So excited for you Jill. What a well-written post! I look forward to the rest!
