Tomorrow morning I leave for the trip of a lifetime. The 2010 Fall Semester at Sea trip is study abroad experience like no other. Over the span of 3 1/2 months I will be traveling to 11 different countries with over 600 other college students from around the world. That sounds pretty sweet right? Did I mention this is my last semester in college? Words can not describe how pumped i am for this trip, but i will try to explain it to you anyway.

Sure I've traveled to a couple other countries before France, England, and Canada (dont count that last one). But I was young. I was restricted. I was dumb (that hasnt really changed). Basically I wasnt able to appreciate what I was doing at the time. This is going to be different. I am basically Leanardo Decrapio except way better looking. Picture me as heroic as he was in Titanic (without the boat crash obviously) and as adventerous as he was in Inception. <<<<This is a dream inside a dream inside a dream! This is whatever I make it, and whatever I want it to be.

- thats me!

Top 4 things I am thinking about doing but will probably Pussy out of:

1. Shark CageDiving in South Africa- This might almost be as good as Shark Week in HD.
2. Bungee Jumping/SkyDiving- Do I really want my life to depend on whether a bungee cord holds or whether a friggen shoot opens? Possibly.
3. Trek to a Ghana fishing village- I heard that some places in Ghana you are not allowed to take pictures because the locals think there souls will be captured. How rediculous is that? hahah
4. Anything that might get me arrested in Singapore- I will be suprised if they even allow me into this country. 

In all seriousness though I am going all out on this trip. No regrets here folks. I figure the classes should be easy as shit because the teachers are on vacation too right? Who wants to be sitting around grading papers when you could be on a fucking Safari? From what I've heard it is just one HUGE party. And guess what the best part is? I am going to document the whole damn thing for ya.

So follow me along all semester as I sail the sea's!!! Here is my itinerary if you want to check it out:
