I'm moving to THAILAND?!?!

I have been waiting to hear the news for about a month now, and I am so excited to share with you all, I will be moving to Thailand in August for 5 months!

 

Let me start from the beginning.... Ever since I left Sweden last January, I have been craving more travel. Seeing Kaya go to India as well as Africa made me not only want to travel more, but make a difference in someones life. I started researching different programs and found many of them are far out my price range. My mom told me a program called ILP (International Language Program) that is based in Utah. They are affordable, and just what I was looking for!

 

I will be traveling to the other side of the world with around 15-20 other people my age. I will be spending my 5 months there teaching elementary aged children English! This trip will be good for so many reasons, some of those being, being able to teach the kids English, which will aide them exceedingly in their future, being able to see another part of the world (a very beautiful part I may add), gaining a new perspective on life and culture, last but not least, meeting new people who share common interests and goals. 

I've had countless people tell me that I am crazy for wanting to move to another country where I know no one.  My answer to that is, I feel happiest when I am experiencing new things and put myself out of my comfort zone, it is a tremendous growing experience that I think everyone should experience at least once in their life. At this point in my life, I have nothing tying me down, so, I am going to experience, learn, enjoy and love every second of it! I am absolutely thrilled!
