About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see amazing places and meet amazing people

ABOUT ME

In July 2011 I spent a month in Mexico with 8 other students from my school and my Drama teacher through a company called World Challenge and it was the best experience of my entire life. Ever since then I have been trying to decide where to go next and late last year I finally decided that, more than anything, I want to see Europe. So that is my new adventure. This June I am flying in to London to travel a big, beautiful continent I have never been anywhere near and I could not be more excited. Hopefully I will be doing lots of couch surfing while i am over there and will get the chance to meet a lot of you wonderful people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Something that really stands out in my mind is when I got the chance to spend a week and a half living in a very small, underprivileged village in Mexico and spent that time helping to improve their community by doing things like painting their school and church, planting trees and various plants and we even got to use machetes to cut weeds! It was a truly eye-opening and wonderful experience.
