My name is Abby :)

I'm a senior in high school, just trying to find my place in this big, big world as my graduation date closes in. During these past few high school years, I've been strongly influenced and inspired by different theories of alternative education. I've read so much on the topic and have been so inspired and encouraged, I've decided to do what many pioneers in education suggest: take my own education and my own destiny into my own hands. I've decided to enroll postgraduately to the school of life. I'm planning on backpacking around the world, challenging my worldview, connecting across cultures, gaining life experience, and learning about this great web that binds all of humanity together. I plan to backpack around the world for a year, going to a language school in Japan, going to WWOOF in Norway, adventuring in New Zealand, working in Ibezia, exploring the outdoor majesty of Iceland, touring the tumultuous North Korea, journeying to Thailand, and learning about history and culture in Europe. Maybe after that, I'll apply to a college. Maybe I'll apply to a vocational school. Maybe I won't go back to traditional schooling. Maybe I'll backpack for a while longer....Who knows where the road will take me. Any help given to help me achieve this dream and become a truly global citizen is greatly appreciated
