98 more days to go.

My target date for the flight to Ghana is September 1st, cause I have a celebration to attend there. And yet, I am being realistic, that it might be a bit too straight fwd shoot, since I am only back from Vienna on the 29th. But it is all possible with me! :0

Currently I am in a state, where the idea of Ghana is the only thing that keeps me going through the pails of work and endless reports, projects and other things! The sun, the excitement, the challenge - mental challenge! I need it!

How is it done?!

I have quite few friends that have traveler around the world with less or more money for a longer period of time. Some that have moved to London with 70 Euros in their pockets and one back - pack, some that went hick hiking one day in the morning and came home 3 months latter - all happy and full with stories.

And yet I am a bit scared about the financial issues - of the whole adventure, how much is enough to move to Ghana and feel safe?! Currently I am going just with my confidence that it will all work out for the best and I will not stay on the street on my own, which is a good start!

Either way I am happy and am trying to save as much as I can, not losing my own life and little treats in it!

Off to work. Bye.

Stress Nr1. Not because of Ghana, but for it.

It has been a couple of weeks since I am writing a project to sponsor my stay in Ghana and as much as I am motivated and interested in it to work out, but today I wanted to cry. Powerless/Energy-less...it is midnight - so many things to do, final weeks of school and A PROJECT to write! I can do it, I CAN, but it hurts to give up my beauty-sleep for it! I seriously hope it will pay back! IT HAS TO! :)

Shoots for the adventure

Step on - went to see my Dr on Friday and did all the blood tests so that I can start to do all the shoots for the different country. Hopefully will start that on Wednesday!
Got the Yellow fever shoot in February, before my 1st visit to Ghana, now need to get both Hephaestus A&B and few more. Just to be on the safe side!

108 days to go aka Spring 2010

Today, on a sunny May day, when I should be correcting final drafts and tests of my students, I am sitting my purple world and am daydreaming about Ghana, as I often do!

I am in my final run of the two year graduate program I just did, have worked in average 50-60h a week as an English language teacher, studies in the grad program and did some additional projects to earn according to my living standards. Currently I feel like I deserve a rest and mental challenge - truly believe that Ghana is the right place for it! To recharge my mental state and knowledge about the world, to get inspired for future and practice my goal setting skills! :)
