Hello everyone! For all of you who do not know, I will be traveling to South Africa for a six week study abroad trip with Grand Valley State University. There is a total of 13 of us going (12 students and 1 professor) and we will be participating in a number of different activities during our six week trip. I will be teaching at a secondary school just outside of Stellenbosch, South Africa. I am planning to post at least 3 or 4 times a week so I can keep everyone up to date with what I am up to while on my trip. I am starting to get very excited....and a little nervous. I am excited to travel and experience a new culture, but I am a little nervous to get on a plane for the first time! We will see how it goes... Just so everyone knows, I will be leaving on Sundary March 15 at 3:00 PM from Grand Rapids, MI. We are flying to Detroit and then flying to Amsterdam from Detroit. We will have about a four hour lay-over in Amsterdam, followed by a very long flight to Cape Town, South Africa. We will be arriving in South Africa late Monday night and we will be given a couple of days to tour the town (Stellenbosch) before we begin teaching on either Wednesday or Thursday. I am looking forward to meeting my host family and getting to know as much as possible about their culture. If anyone has any questions or comments you can write back to me on this blog and I will try do my best to respond to you.
