The Beginning

As an avid traveler I have decided to post my adventures! My passions are languages, seeing new places, meeting new people, and photography. Through my travels I will be able to experience all these and more, and I can keep everyone updated as I go. Right now I am preparing to embark on my biggest adventure yet: study abroad in Santiago, Chile! It’s quite a process, but I am also very excited. I have chosen to entitle my blog “Sail Away” first of all because of the inspiration I have found from Mark Twain’s quote. Not only has that quote sparked a fire in me, but it also has special meaning with my first and ultimate traveling partner (Kate). My title is also derived from my love of the ocean and the intrinsic sense of adventure and freedom I always feel as I am sailing away… Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my blog(Kimberly McVick). Happy travels!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~Mark Twain

"There must be within you a tiny spark that can be increased by fanning and eventually burst into flame." ~Francesco Petrarca

“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” ~Miriam Beard
