Who's this kid? And why does he think he's important enough to have a blog?

My name is Theo Hofrenning. I am 18 years of age and I'm taking a gap year between high school and college to travel to Ambato Ecuador with the Rotary International Exchange program. I hail from a small hipster town in southern Minnesota called Northfield (you probs havent heard of it). I live with my mother, father and younger brother. My father teaches at St.Olaf College in Northfield, and my mother is a pastor at Christiania Lutheran Church in Lakeville. Gabe is 15 still goes to high school. That's a bit about who I am and where I come from. Soon a new chapter will start. This blog will chronicle my thoughts and experiences!
