I've always liked the expression welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. This phrase is associated with the vast possibilities that lay ahead, and with the change that each of us can promote on any single day.
Well, today I start the first day of my new life. During the next 6 months I'll be volunteering in Peru with Cuso International. I'm very excited about this job, the challenges I will face and the change I expect to bring to the communities involved. I always felt that I had the responsibility of giving back to my fellow countrymen and help improve the conditions of my dear country, in other words, contribute somehow to make Peru a better place. The fact that I get to apply my skills at a professional level, makes it all even better.
During the following days and weeks I'll post more about the specific project that in which I'll be involved.
Also, starting tomorrow, I'll be attending a five days training at the offices of Cuso and after that it will be just a few more days in Quebec until it's time to go.
Today though, am enjoying the train ride that is taking me from Quebec to Ottawa. The train is not even half full and the seats are really comfortable, wifi included :). So now I can forget about this morning rush to make it to my last training session at the gym, finish packing my stuff and even manage to cook something quick and eat it, all before noon!
Anyway, now I relax and enjoy the view of Quebec's country side. Ottawa, here I go again on my ooooown!
