Hello family and friends! I hope that you will use this particular journal to track the many adventures that await me during the coming months. I am very excited to be on this new journey with my trusty traveling companion Rachel (aka Suki). We will begin in Australia, meander South East Asia, tap in on the UK and ultimately end our globtrotting in South America! Sounds crazy....feels crazy. Nonetheless, I am delighted and blessed to be a part of this amazing opportunity. I hope that you will enjoy the entries and pictures as I post them. Please keep us in your prayers and remember to keep in touch! Love, Lin
