Beginnings

My plans for the Summer have fallen through.  Traveling abroad to study Arabic has proven a much more difficult task than I previously thought... (I didn't get into the program I had applied to.)  So, to make up for it, I've decided to hitch across the country.

A little about me... I'm 24, unconventional undergrad at the University of Massachusetts, studying Political Science, International Relations, and concentrating on the Middle East and Arabic... I speak 4 languages, am a musician, and am excited about the prospect of a Summer without any commitments and hardly any cash.

I'll be bringing my guitar, harmonicas, a backpack, and a tent with me.

I plan on logging my adventures through this blog.

I hope to be on the road as of July 1, hopefully this will come to fruition.

Thanks!
