Well, probably.  
But it's still open for debate.  

Yes, the rumors are true.

I, Lauren Kell, will be leaving the "real world" behind in January and will go on the World Race.  

11 Countries.  11 Months.

That means me, living out of a backpack, for 11 months.  Let's be honest for a minute and admit that things are about to get interesting.  Seriously.  I am not a hiker.  I am not a camper.  I am not even a particularly awesome packer.  How is this going to work??  I have no idea.  After training camp next month I will have a better idea but until then. . . your guess is as good as mine.  So for now I will leave you with this little gem:
