Here it is! My first blog post.
I'm blessed to say that I'll be doing a lot of traveling over the next ten months, and this blog will serve as the number one way I document my journeys! Think of this blog as a public travel journal. I want to share my experiences abroad with my friends and family, and I want to have an account of these adventures for myself.
"But where are you going, Lizzie?" Glad you asked...
- This week I'll be in Northern Ireland working with Furman University's Cothran Center discovering ways The Corrymeela Community of Ballycastle is working to promote healing of division and reconciliation.
- This May I'll be in Japan studying art and religion for about a month.
- This fall I'll be all over the British Isles studying theatre for the semester.
I'd like to end today's post with a quote by one of my favorite authors, Terry Pratchett, from his novel, A Hat Full of Sky:
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
