One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent several summers in Syria with my relatives. It's an amazing place with amazing people. What's happening there is tragic and awful in so many ways but I am so thankful to have known it before the devastation.

My husband and I spent 3 weeks traveling through thailand for our honeymoon. My favorite parts were riding motor scooters through the hills of the countryside and a three day trek through the jungle.

Hiking across the Oso Penninsula with a friend in 2009 was one of the most challenging and amazing adventures of my life!
