This blog is a place for you to post photos, tell stories and share your experiences with friends and family back home. Send your loved ones this link so they can see and read about the places that your adventurous spirit is taking you.
Throughout our semester, each of you will have the opportunity to post to this blog, documenting our journey for the world to see. Blogger is one of seven roles that each of you will fill as the semester progresses. There are six other roles, and you'll have at least one turn in each. They are:
- Hot Wheels – arranging transportation
- Cribs – organizing our housing
- Bleeding Heart – who reports on social issues
- Librarian – who will carry and care after our books
- Culture, History & Headlines - who reports on the local culture, and finally...
- El Capitan – the person who pulls it all together and MC's group meetings
Sharing the responsibility for success will help our group build a tight-knit community, and help each of you develop great travel skills.
Reminder: We are meeting at the Tom Bradley Terminal in LAX, at the eatery tables on the second floor. Just look for some goofy looking people with giant backpacks. We'll gather there at 9:30 pm and reconvene at that spot every hour until our entire group is together.
We're looking forward to an educational journey with you, full of adventure, smells, toil, sights and laughs. Hopefully you've already had a chance to read through the itinerary. For now, eat the foods you love, hug your families and pets, and pick up those last minute travel-essentials. Next stop, Ecuador!
Paz,
Simone and Ari
