What This Is

This is a way to process my new discoveries. Although I begin the day before my departure for Florence, Italy I am going to try to distance myself from a cliche travel blog. However successful I may or may not be I hope I can use this to show my friends and family a little bit of what I am experiencing, learning or just thinking about. I also hope that by developing this as a habit I may improve my writing skills in order to become clear, concise and entertaining so that those subjecting themselves to my rambling might eventually garner a little enjoyment.
