A month ago, my friend told me how the science department at my college wants to take a group down to Belize during spring break for hands-on marine biology research. They needed more students to go on the trip so it was open to non-science majors. And that is why tomorrow morning I am getting on a plane to Belize.
The point of this blog is to motivate and to remind me to live life to the fullest. While this trip to Belize is not on my official bucket list, it will be another country I can check off... another place in this world where I left footprints.
This also provides a learning experience. This is the first time that I will be traveling abroad without an adult guiding me through the process. I bought the ticket. I will go through customs. I will pay for everything I need while I'm there. Sure, I will meet my professor at the airport and some of my friends are going on this trip as well, no one is going to hold my hand. It is exciting! This is helping me reach some of my goals on the 5 year bucket list by giving me experience with traveling alone.
Belize, here I come!
