Well, as all good things must come to an end, my internship here at National Geographic will be over in approximately 1 hour. I’ve had a great time here, learned a LOT about blogging and met a TON of great people. Before moving on to other adventures, I’d like to share with you the next five things I plan on doing with my life now that I won’t be writing this blog.
1. Driving back to Oklahoma to eat my favorite food
Yes, I am from Oklahoma, where the wind goes sweeping down the plains. I’m heading back to the ‘breadbasket’ of America tomorrow morning, but since it is a 20 hour drive, I probably won’t arrive until Saturday afternoon. My favorite things about Oklahoma:
Great Mexican food
Wide open spaces
Dirt roads
BBQs at the lake
I’m not going to lie; I’ve missed those things immensely ever since I arrived here in D.C. As always, it’s great to go home every now and then.
2. Going to learn to scuba dive in Honduras
Before I learned about this internship, I enrolled in a study abroad class to Honduras. My professor required that I buy my plane ticket to Honduras when I signed up for the class. But, as things happen, I was offered this amazing opportunity here at National Geographic and I had to respectfully withdraw from the trip. Luckily, I was able to reschedule my tickets, and now I am taking a personal vacation to learn how to scuba dive in the world-class reefs off the coast of Honduras. I’m hoping I get to see some whale sharks; wish me luck!

3. Ride my bicycle from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine
Yep, that’s right. Two of my pals and I are going to be riding our bikes from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The name of our trip: BroQuest. On June 1st, we will arrive in Portland, OR, assemble our bicycles, sleep a little bit, and then set off on the journey of a lifetime. I encourage you to follow the progress of our “gigantic traveling dork circus.”
