Jency informed me a couple of days ago that she ACCIDENTLY SMUGGLED a hermit crab into New Zealand from Fiji! I almost died laughing! Word of advice from Jency… when you pick up a shell, check to see who’s living in it.

Now that I’ve made it 2.5 months into my 15 month out-of-US travel expedition, I’ve decided I’m ready to settle down for a bit. I currently miss the US, NY, and Americans. Don’t worry I will complete my trip and I WILL enjoy it, all of it, but I have a feeling I will be ready to settle into a nice little apartment in NYC to carry out my last 2 years of study at NYU. I’m going to have to learn to stay put eventually anyway.

A Kiss on the Cheek
