Quick Comment to CurlyFry

Hello!! I've just started reading your blog, and the past several posts of yours have not only inspired me, but keep making me go "oh my goodness, I feel the same way!!" I enjoy how optimistic you are and am glad you wrote on the subject. I'm not 21 yet, but I can't wait to go wine tasting with my friends all over the place, it sounds so much fun, and Under the Tuscan Sun is my ALL TIME FAVORITE movie. :D You also mentioned that you've talked to people who have already been through the GeoVisions program? Would you mind putting me in contact with them? I'd love to talk to them about the legitimacy of GeoVisions, because it seriously seems too good to be true (and also just to talk about it all!)!! :D

I would have posted this as a comment to your actual posts but I guess my computer doesn't want to because every time I click it it won't let me!!

Thank you for writing and God bless,
~Melissa

Oh my Oh my

So that took a ridiculous amount of time. The problem with having x amount of gmail accounts? You lose track of which one you used to login to your blog, and that causes a virtual goose chase of searching each email account for words like "blog" and "blogger" and such.

Anyway.

So I mentioned in my last post that I would love to live abroad. Abroad as in, in another country (maybe that's the actual definition of abroad? Maybe I'm using it wrong?) or in my own country, America. As long as I'm moving or getting ready to move, I just want some kind of movement in my life.

So enter GeoVisions.org, with this amazing program called the Conversation Corps. And it seems too good to be true when they have a program that lets you become an Au Pair in France for the summer (or the entire year, each way it's only $750). Now, I didn't mention this earlier, I believe, but I was born to be a nanny. From obsessing about all the Babysitting Club books to babysitting my little brother to recently (the past four years) spending the summer with my sister and her growing family, helping take care of both newborns and toddlers. And when my sister and I were discussing what I should do with my life (teacher?), she mentioned that I should become an Au Pair.

So of course I was excited and thought that this HAD to be a sign from above, me stumbling on this website through a friend's recommendation.

And then I thought "Hmm. Too good to be true. I should check this out."

So I have been. I've been reading blogs from people who have participated or will participate in the programs GeoVisions offers, along with researching the "bossman" Randy LeGrant.

If this is legit, then I'm going for it. If not, then I'm going to find out what's up and report it.
