let’s get global

I should’ve gotten a tattoo of a laptop- then maybe Mac would sponsor me. I have spent more hours on my laptop in the past few weeks than it took me to drive to Alaska. This machine is like an arm these days! It’s all necessary to connect with people I’m interested in working with, for research, etc. My fingers are calloused and my butt is numb, but I’m so happy to have found programs and companies like these:

*Let’s Get Global: Hello! Bring the Gap Year to America?! This is like my DREAM, my pie in the sky. My “If I had a million dollars” and what I believe changes lives for the better and teaches perspective more than anything. The good thing is I can work with them. Loving that.

*Gogobot: It’s like Lonely Planet, Yelp, Facebook, Twitter and more, but even better and all in one for travel. No more boring text perusing and being frustrated by endless Google search (think those Bing commercials) for finding secret spots and amazing places to travel, this site is GREAT. Check it out and join!

*Roadmonkey: Philanthropic Adventure Trips? Sign me up! I am so excited to find more and more people doing this stuff, I want to jump out of my skin. Who needs Sandals Resorts when you can do this stuff? (Yeah, yeah, some people like Sandals. That’s Ok, to each his own.) Me? I’m a Roadmonkey.

Before we know it, we’ll have all the kids in America exposed to bunches of different places, people and cultures by the time they’re 18.

Wouldn’t that be swell?
