Next Steps

 With this year quickly coming to an end it is time to figure out what comes next.  This year has helped me realize that I definitely want to continue on this path of international development. I have also realized that I am ready to move on from volunteering/direct community involvement. It is time to learn what happens behind the scenes. I feel like through these experiences I am ready to take the next step in developing my professional skills.
With that being said I have some exciting news! I have decided to go back to school and get my masters in International Development and Service at Concordia University in Portland. Well it is misleading to say that it is in Portland because I spend my second and third semesters abroad. I can choose between Italy, Thailand, and Ecuador. I will chose to go to Thailand my second semester and Ecuador my third semester.
I am really excited to explore a new area of the states and see if the west coast is a better fit for me. I’ve heard great things about Portland, and have started watching Portlandia (a hilarious tv show I recommend to everyone) to get me up to speed on the culture in Portland so I will fit in ;).
Overall I feel real good about this decision and feel like it is the right move for me.  Thank you to everyone who has been there for through this process and offered their support. I wouldn’t be here today without all of you!

In conclusion, it looks live my life as a Nomad will continue on for another two years. 
The Blog will live on.
