Here goes nothing...the intro.

Bom dia a todos, At last the day has finally come and my blogging process has officially begun. Just a quick recap, the main purpose of my blog is to document my summer trip and keep my friends and family posted in a convenient way. Just a few weeks ago, on my birthday my parental units threw me for a loop and surprised me with a trip to Brazil for the summer. My mom has family there and I will be staying with them, for two months. I am BEYOND THANKFUL AND EXCITED about this whole process. Before this opportunity presented itself, I had gone to sleep away camp a few summers ago with my cousin for three weeks. Something tells me this is going to be different! More than anything, I will not have a partner in crime, and thus will be a "one man wolfpack". Yay me!To be honest I don't know what to expect, but I do promise to keep up with my blog and enjoy myself. I don't know what to expect in the least bit, but I do know that I will miss all my friends and family back home, and thus do my best to keep this blog updated and will look forward to hearing from y'all. Disclaimer: As most of you may or may not know I am quite the social butterfly (in person, via text, via email, and more importantly via blogging from Brazil!) I will try to make these posts as interesting as possible and share every detail with y'all, because that is so my style! So this is the intro. to what I am sure will be a wordy, descriptive, random, and hopefully witty/moderately entertaining blog. Thank you all in advance for following me and PLEASE be sure to write to me and keep me posted while I am away. That is all for now, but rest assured that I will keep you posted on the preparation process! All my love, a thankful and excited traveler
