Ok, here goes. I'm officially way behind as I began this trip on May 15. So, let me share a few things first and lay out some things to help better understand this adventure. First, I'm doing this from a smart phone and its not the easiest thing to use when trying to write something that ideally should be well written. Second, I'll try to respond if people have things to ask or comment on but honestly I want to enjoy the trip and the awesome people I've been meeting...not having my face stuck looking at my phone as I'm sure most of you understand. Next I'll give a brief glimpse of me and how this came about so you'll have a better understanding.
