So I have never blogged before, which you can probably tell from my page layout (suggestions are welcome!).
My hope for this blog is that it will tell the stories of the adventures I have been lucky enough to have, help me learn about others' adventures, and will allow me to help others become interested in global exchange. Global exchange has been one of my passions for years. I think learning about other people, their lives, trials, joys, and beliefs is one of the most powerful gifts we are given on earth. While I have my own personal beliefs, I love seeing the differences in others and believe those differences are beautiful. I would never want to change another person's uniqueness.
International relations is a subject that I feel is sorely overlooked. While domestic issues are important, I feel that in a globalizing world, we must focus on foreign relations.
I have been blessed with a supportive family and many loving friends who have helped me live out my dreams. And although I've been to three continents and many exotic places, I feel like I've only just begun. My travels include trips to Peru (2009-Spanish V Spring Break Trip), Kauai (2011-Summer Trip with Jenny Baum), Italy (I lived there for a month and taught English to children at the program "You Can Camp), British Virgin Islands (My boyfriend's father's 50th birthday trip), and Oahu (My boyfriend's 22 birthday trip).
I will probably be doing a blog on each individual trip, but that's for a later time...when I'm feeling nostalgic. Right now I'm just feeling that old familiar wanderlust...
