I have always thought that I would be the last person in the world to maintain a blog. Talking about myself to an anonymous audience is not something that I am entirely comfortable with. Yet this blog performs the unique function of allowing me to keep up to date those interested in my life while at the same time not flooding those who aren't with massive email updates about how I go about buying groceries. It is impossible to say to what extent I will be able to keep this blog updated throughout the next two year, but I can promise I will do my best.
I leave for Zambia on the 17th of February 2010 as a L.I.F.E (Linking Income, Food and Environment) volunteer— Job title: Forestry Extension Agent. I most likely won't return until mid 2012. This means I have plenty of time to update this blog and all of you have plenty of time to write me a letter or two. I simply wanted to get this blog up and running before I got to Zambia. I accomplished this and thus I will write furthers once I have more to say.
