ABOUT ME

Strangers are friends you have yet to meet

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Backpacking across Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Venice, Milan in May 2008. This adventure was short but the company was awesome!

2) Volunteer teaching at a temporary shelter/high school that was located in a rural part of China which was hardest hit by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake -- the earnest faces of my kids gave me so much joy

3) Jiuzhaigou: Visiting one of the scenic vallies and area of historic interest in China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiuzhaigou_Valley)

4) Watching the sunrise on Nemrut Dagi, Turkey
