Over the River and through the Woods to South Korea We Go!

When I think about leaving for South Korea I think of the Johnny Cash song "I've been everywhere Man". Until this spring semester and planning on going on this trip I really thought I'd been almost everywhere, Maine to Florida, Jersey to Indiana, and all through Canada. I knew I hadn't made it to California yet but sooner or later I'd get there. The more I think about it the more I come to the conclusion I've been nowhere man, no where. Verses going half way across the world to South Korea, Florida and Indiana are trips down the street. I have learned to live on a global scale, and to pay attention to global issues but never really thought about how localized I've lived. This trip is changing all that!

I have been looking forward to this trip, with Majoring in Ag. Education  I really like to see how different people work and live in Agriculture, and to this point different has been fish farming in Ohio and crop farming in Indiana. Now different agriculture will be seeing what Koreans consider agriculture and how they produce it. I wasn't actually really really excited about the trip till the last class when we got the itinerary, actually knowing where we're going and what we're doing really got me excited. being able to Google locations of places and see pictures and information made the trip more real than ever before. I'm most excited to just be able to see Seoul, everyone has said its a huge awesome city and I want to see it for myself. 

No matter what happens on this trip we will have fun. I'm traveling with a bunch of my friends to learn about Agriculture, this is nothing new for us we've been learning about Agriculture since we were little kids just flying around the world instead of walking to the barn to do it.

Here is hoping, praying, and wishing for a safe, educational, enjoyable trip over the river and through the woods to South Korea. . . really across the ocean and over the woods.
