One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The one thing that stands out the most in my life and travels is when I spent 6 months living in the Philippines, 3 of which I spent working with street children and educating them about health concerns and how to avoid diseases. Those three months were some of the best of my life this far. I learned so much from those kids and got really close with some of them. If you ever have a chance to do something like that I would highly recommend it. Especially in the Philippines, that country is absolutely amazing. The people are great and it is so beautiful.
