Let the adventure begin

Hello Everyone,
So right now I am actually in Ely MN visiting friends at my old camp Widjiwagan but I leave for the deep south in about 50 hours!!! As some of you know I started planning my trip to South America in March when I was offered a job at an NGO in Bolivia. Everything changed last week when I got an email from the NGO informing me that they were going through a very difficult time and because of a lack of funds and internal problems would no longer be able to host me for an internship. This was very difficult news to receive less than a week before I head out but with the support of my friends and family I am once again really excited to head out. As of right now I am going to go down there and travel for a little while and try to work the connections that I have in order to find more internships or volunteer work. This is going to be a lot more of an adventure than I thought. As of right now I am going to be in La Paz for about a week traveling and then we will see. As most of you know I am kind of a planner so this is going to force me to grow in a lot of ways which is scary and exciting at the same time. I will update this blog to let you know where I am, where I plan on going and the adventures that I have...
