So Little Time... So Much To Do!

My name is Bailey, and I am a junior in the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University. This semester I will be traveling abroad, seeing all of the places I've wanted to see (and some that I haven't) studying architecture.  In Eighth grade I remember deciding that I was going to go into Architecture. I would wander onto the Ball State University website and start browsing about the college when one time I came across a Polyark World Tour trip page.  I was fascinated. Seeing all the places the students went was like a dream to me. I decided then that if I were to be accepted into the Ball State College of Architecture and Planning nothing would stop me from going around the world. 

It's been a few years since eighth grade but I am still excited, and can you believe it!?! In a few days I will be leaving on Polyark/World Tour 5trip traveling throughout Europe, Asia, and northern Africa over 103 days. I'm hoping the use of a blog will help me keep everything I see and experience straight since the trip will be a whirlwind of tours and tales. We only stay in each city  a few days at most leaving little time to rest. I'm extremely excited and the countdown until I board the first flight is getting closer and closer.

I will be taking a backpack that can weight around 42 pounds. Im still not certain how it will all fit, but I imagine it's like a puzzle, just move the pieces around until it all fits (or zips). The final test will be if I can stand while carrying it. You would think since I leave in a few days I would be mostly packed... If you think that...you must not know me very well. Don't worry though I always pull everything together on time!
