I traveled on Monday, Feb. 5, from Boston to Seoul, which took about 24 hours. The high-speed train ride from Seoul to PyeongChang took about an hour.

Because we are 14 hours ahead, I’m totally jet-lagged but extremely excited!

The Mountain Cluster Olympic Village is behind me in this photo. It’s where the athletes, coaches and other officials live, meet and come together. We are located no more than 15 minutes by car from where the main events will take place.

It is very cold here, 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit!

This Friday, we will work in a regular base. I am planning to attend the opening ceremony and will post photos.
