About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Set foot on every continent...including Antarctica!

ABOUT ME

I am currently studying in Heidelberg, Germany, and I have more blessings than I could ever deserve. I love to explore and see new places and sometimes I drive aimlessly in an attempt to get lost so that I can see someting new. I love adventures of all kinds. I love to learn new things and I'll try ALMOST anything once. I'm motivated by human connection and I love to see people gain empathy and understanding through interaction. I'm desperate to make a difference in some way. I read and write, dance and sing, laugh and cry, and my life goal is to show love in some way in everything that I do. I want to change the world and I want your help.

PHILOSOPHY

Love. I'm not just saying that because it's trendy. I think if we really Loved the way we're built to, it would revolutionize the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once met a man named Lazarus who lived in the town of Bluefields in Nicaragua. He lived underneath his family's house because he had tuberculosis. We brought him a used mattress and he cried. I thought he was crying because of his condition, but he was crying out of gratitude; he told me that he now knew God existed because we brought him a soft, comfortable mattress to die on.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you put a piece of bread in the box of brown sugar, it will make the sugar soft again. If you come visit me, I'll show you how to make a perfect waffle.
I want to learn how to knit.
Teach me what you know :)
