Purpose and intent

So it would be a lie to say that I have not blogged before. However, my two prior experiences have been isolated blog attempts at informing friends and family of my travels while studying abroad in Africa and Asia. The first time, it was difficult to write, because I didn't know who was going to read it, I was only committing myself to write for three weeks and I didn't have consistent internet access. The second time, I blogged over a much longer time period, and found myself much more invested because I knew this would be the best way to not only remember what I did, but inform my loved ones of my activities and reassure them about my safety. However, at the request of my Food Justice professor, Devon Pena at the University of Washington, I am trying again. I can't say how often I will keep up with this, or am I going to try to categorize the topics that will come up (besides they will be things through my perspective, and consequently things that I believe are important or worth sharing to a larger audience). Here's to another attempt! Further, since this is a more generalized blog name, I am hoping that it will entice me to continue past the extent of the quarter. Enjoy.
