8 days until training camp
23 days until I move from Athens
71 days until I leave for Asia
It’s so crazy how fast everything is starting to fall together, especially considering I’ve been preparing for this since last December.
The idea of being away from my friends and family honestly hasn’t even hit me yet. But I know that while I am gone I will miss so many people. So I got this idea from past World Racers to ask friends and family to each write me a letter. The idea is that each month I will open one letter and be provided with a little comfort and encouragement from home in the form of paper and ink.
I want to bring your words with me. This is my way of trying to fit everyone I love in my pack– by bringing along your handwritten notes. It can be a letter of encouragement, your favorite poem, a passage from your favorite book, scripture, a prayer, something that inspires you, a funny story–anything . It does not have to be elaborate by any means, just a tiny piece of you to carry around the world with me. Write it down and you can either mail it to me before I leave or hand it to me in person. I promise not to open them all at once! Each month I will open a letter and take a picture wherever I may be in the world with me reading your letter. So, in a way, you’ll be there with me too. 🙂
If there’s a particular country you want me to open your letter in, then let me know!
Your options are China, Mongolia, Japan, Nepal, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia.
I’d love to have at least 11 letters to open in each country. Message me, email, text me and I’ll send you my address if I can’t see you in person before I leave!
