My plane leaves in less than a month!  I am freaking out just a little, I'll be honest.  And by freaking out, I mean that last night was the first night in many, many weeks that I didn't have vivid dreams bordering on nightmares.  I know I'll be OK (what with my newly-acquired streetfighting skillz), but still...

Anywho.  Krav maga is kicking my butt.  Everyday I wake up sore and bruised, but I am loving it.  I literally have a shoe imprint on both thighs and bruises from wrists to elbow.  I like to joke and tell people that I am slightly self-destructive, but I just channel it into something positive.  Haha!

Well now I am off to clean my room and start to funnel some more items into my backpack.  I'm tempted to start a pool where the winner is the person who guesses how much it weighs the day I leave. 

I'm guessing it will weigh around 50lbs.  Crap.

Things are getting crazy!  I am packing up my apartment, having it painted, and actually kind of living in my parents' garage... Madness.  I have also been looking at travel books galore and trying to figure out how im going to see 2 countries and an island in just under 3 months. 

I am also looking to meet up with friends or friends and make contacts all over in order to spend as little time in a hostel as possible, instead opting for couches and whatnot.  So if any of you have friends that probably won't draw on me in my sleep, then I would love to have their contact info.

Freak out.

Hooray! I am going to be traveling around the southern hemisphere for the next few months and I am super freaking excited!!

I am leaving November 15th and will be gone until the probably February 1st. I will be a month in AUS, and month in NZ, and two weeks in Indo.

Jealous much? You should be.

I will hopefully be updating you all on my travels via this blog as often as possible. I love you, and I will miss you more than you know.

Truly.

Ttyl. Taryn.
