Maybe start with raw journals and photos and take us through your journey how you became more polished. Thank you for sharing and I’ve never really “jumped off the deep end” so much. I am a first gen college grad and graduate school grad. I interned in DC on capital hill in college but nothing too crazy. I was not someone who people thought would intern in DC let alone go to college. Maybe I never believe that I could until I did.

Hi Mark, reading journals are always great.... memories remembered and relived! Sharing these make the memories travel like you did. :-) Thanks from Australia from a traveler who he now inspired to read her own journals.... :-)

The summer after my freshman year, I did the BUNAC program in London. It was my first time abroad and my first time living alone in a big city. The first week was really rough, I cried every day, but looking back on my journal from then, I could see how much growth happened in that first week alone. It was overall a trying but amazing summer.

Interesting experiment in writing and I'm sure you'll evolve in surprising ways over time. And it must be a mind trip to be going in time and revisiting that younger Marko. I wonder what you'll learn from him.
