There are no words to quite express what I am feeling right now. I was accepted for an internship with Moving Ecuador only a few days ago, and already my life feels as if its been turned upside down. Not bad upside down, more like that exhilarating, mind racing and somewhat scary upside down feeling you get when riding your first real roller coaster.
It is over two months til I leave. Part of me wishes I could get on a plane tomorrow, the other is happy that I can live out the summer with my friends.
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's a small-ish town on the east coast of Canada which often gets mistaken for a fishing village. I have lived here my entire life.
I take journalism at the university of kings college, this really small, really cute university where everyone literally knows everyone else. I work two jobs; a synchronized swimming coach and in event promotion for a company called maverick. I like to be busy. When im not working, I love going to the gym. Running is my favorite although i have tried every fitness class from african dance, bosu, poledancing, bootcamp, and everything in between. I also love going out to dance. My new favorite place is a cuban club called "Club Caliente". There is hot latin music playing all the time, people dressed in flirty, gorgeous dresses and free salsa lessons every Monday and Thursday.
Today was a bit boring. Got a haircut (finally!!), booked vaccinations for yellow fever and typhoid (fun:P), had an audition for a tourism print ad and started my second article for Moving Ecuador. This one will be on Pelota National, or National ball.
12 weeks till im in sunny ecuador. Sadly, despite all the beautiful places there are to experience there, the first place i want to see is the beach :)
It still hasn't quite hit me yet....
