won.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm "that kid."  I'm a twenty year old college student who has decided, after tons of brochures, lectures and posters, to study abroad.  Yes, yes, shocking, isn't it?  I've made the choice to leave behind the pristine manicured quad of my small Jesuit institution in Maryland.  Why?  Because it has come to my attention that "myself" may be located somewhere on the continent of Europe, and hot damn, I'm gonna find it. 

Ahem...really, though, I am studying abroad in Leuven, Belgium for two semesters.  Here on this virtual scroll is where I will chronicle my journeys, life lessons, fun history facts, witty anecdotes, fuck-ups, vacation tips and so on and so forth.  So, if you're my friend and want to follow what I'm up to, my enemy and want to laugh at my misfortunes, or just anyone tickled pink at the idea of stories of travel, check back in.
