It’s been a very long road to get to this point. I have jumped hoop after hoop and am reaping the fruits of labor. I am now writing my first blog 30,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, almost over Japan and three hours from my final destination, South Korea. I have no what’s in store for me there. I have only just begun to realize that everything I am familiar with, everything I know and everything I was is nine hours behind and only getting further away. I am heading towards a new life, a new culture, a new way to be.
My journey began in stages of idea or thought and then process and now it’s happening. I am going to live in South Korea for a year! I am. These are two words that can make all the difference when the followed by action. I am going to live in South Korea for one year. I am going to learn about Korean food, culture, geography, mannerisms, language, art, music… who knows what else.
This is the first installment of what I hope to be regularly updated blog. Never thought I’d be a blogger, but I have chosen a new path in life and I want others to experience it with me. It’s a beautiful thing to see one’s development from point A to point B and everything in between. Examples that immediately come to mind are Colin brewing his first batch of beer, in the kitchen of 316, using emptied Culligan water jugs. Kimsta practicing guitar in the blue and white jail cells we refer to as South Hall. Or me in fact, I remember coming to Gustavus with twelve cd’s in my cd wallet. Before I knew it, I had 600+, was a DJ at KGSM and the Dive. People grow, life is crazy, I smell tacos and the smell makes me want to eat some. Anyways, thanks for stopping, I hope you stop by often.
Soon to come are photos and videos (if I learn how to embed them).

Yay, Juba!! I'm so excited about this journey. And I'm looking forward to reading your posts. We are a lot alike in our quests for growth and development. Not only being open to, but seeking out new ideas and ways of living. You're an inspiration and I'm glad to know you, man. How coincidental that we have the same parents. lol.
Jub,
I'm sooooo proud of you! I am looking forward to learning about South Korea through your eyes. Annnnndddd, I'll put it out there -- I'm planning a trip. Any takers? Any donors? :)
Your loving Mama
Yay Juba! You're going to love it. love it. Beijos, Melinda
