About Me.

Who: Katie. 24. Bachelors in Political Science. English Teacher (and yes, I LOVE grammar).

What: A Chilean Adventure!

Where: Santiago, Chile

When: NOW!

Why:  I'm at a loss of words to explain the countless reasons I'm packing up my bags and my All-American life to head down to that skinny, coastal, gorgeous country. Let's stick with the basics. I'm done, worn out, fed up, finished, and quite plainly frustrated with my severe lack of perseverance and drive and my simple, boring life. I don't want to look back from my gray office cubicle in my gray office building wearing some gray business causal attire and realize that my existence in this world is, well, full of ordinary, gray matter.  Life is a gift. Life is an adventure. blah blah blah. You can add some more clichés, too. Basically, I don't want to live from point A to point B with a connecting, straight (and probably gray) line. I think Michaelangelo famously and sufficiently summarizes what I'm trying to convey: "The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aims too high and falling short; but in setting our aims too low and achieving our mark."
