I think this will be much easier now that I have a different working schedule. I don’t use a computer at work, and can check emails on my phone (which I also don’t have access to during my working hours) so don’t really NEED to use my computer during the day. I work afternoons-evenings, and I’m usually too tired when I get home to care about going online or whatever. In the morning I prefer to sleep in or do other things. So, really, this is very doable. I have actually done it already one day without noticing. So I’ll try tomorrow, and make it every Wednesday, if not more :)

How I did it: I tried a bunch of websites but the one that worked best is was Penpal International (http://ppi.searchy.net). The website is kind of clunky and awful, but within a day of writing my profile I'd had several messages. Some from creepy Africans wanting to be my husband, but some really cool people!I also signed up at Postcrossing so I will get fun things in the mail from there too.So now I'm waiting to get replies from my new friends! Read how I did it…
I used to barely EVER take pictures then I would feel bad when I got home from vacation or whatever and not have any. I bought a new camera and started to take a lot of pics while I was overseas recently. Now that I’m home, I haven’t used it again, so I guess I should work on taking more pics during everyday life, but I’m getting there.
After having this sit on my list a while, I kind of realised I will never be able to quantify when it’s done. I travel a lot, and eat different regional foods while I’m gone, and at home if I spot something new that looks good, I’ll eat it. I’m generally getting better about trying things I would have once turned my nose up at, but at the end of the day I eat healthily and I eat what I feel like eating, so I guess I do this naturally.
