Hello friends, family, well-wishers, and people who may have just stumbled upon my blog,
So I have recently started this blog as a way to document my travels in the next few years, as well as to keep family and friends update as to what I am currently dipping into since I may not see many people for quite some time.
Who am I? Where do I even begin? At the very beginning or just give a brief little few tid bits about myself and where I am heading to. I guess I could start there, so My name is Sean and I recently graduated from Muhlenberg College, a small liberal arts college in PA, with a B.S. in Biology with the focus of eventually going to medical school and becoming a Doctor. I grew up in Bayridge, Brooklyn and Jim Thorpe, PA -- two areas with very different living dynamics with I won't go into now, but maybe will tackle that in another post.
Where am I heading to? well I have always loved the experiences that accompany traveling, I love when things are changing and I think it keeps everything exciting. Currently, I am going to participate in a program known as Somos Hermanos, http://www.somoshermanos.org/home , which is a language/ cultural immersion program that is medically focused in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. I will be spending the next 6 months living with a host family, learning spanish, and participating in volunteer projects while gaining exposure to urban and rural healthcare systems. Ill go into that more another time, but that is where I am heading July 9th, so in little over week.
Further, I have just submitted an application to the Peace Corps yesterday in the hopes of becoming a volunteer in latin america.
I am currently watching the world cup Ghana vs Uruguay, after watching the upset of brasil by netherlands, and just saw Andy murry get pounded by nadal. I am a huge fan of football and tennis, they are the two sports I love the most.
Ok i think i've jotted enough down for right now, but there will be many more posts to come. Thanks for reading and Cheers till next time,
Maloney
