In the months and years after all of my previous travels to different states and countries, I always found myself wishing that I had done more. That I had taken better pictures, kept better (or more often than not, any) notes about where I went and what I saw. Everything seems so vivid and fresh while you're there experiencing it, and you feel like you'll always remember every little detail for years to come. Unfortunately, all of the great memories do fade a little as life goes on. So I've decided to be better about keeping a log of my travels, starting with this summer. I'll be spending 6 weeks studying in Istanbul at Koç University.
After my time in Turkey, my girlfriend Rachel and I will spend a couple weeks traveling around Europe. Hopefully the fact that I spent the time to create this blog will force me to use it to record all my experiences so that I'll have something to look back on in the future. This will be the best way to keep up with where I am and what I'm doing for any friends or family members that might be interested. Feel free to pester me if I don't update this page at least a couple times a week, I'll probably need the encouragement!
