ABOUT ME

My name is Alana Kish and I am originally from Cleveland Ohio but now in Naples Florida. Im a natural born people person who loves to laugh, enjoy life and travel. I absolutely LOVE traveling and the ARTS and DANCE and theater. I'm a big music person and a big fan of the one and only Michael Jackson. 😊

I'm a big proponent of making the most out of each and every experience we have here on this earth and taking risks. Sometimes I take too many. 🙃

I also enjoy learning new things, trying new food, and exploring new places. As far as my travels, I've done a 3 week excursion to Israel/Jerusalem and Tiberias with my church as well as Italy - Rome/Florence/Sienna/Balogna/Venice/Verona. It was UNBELIEVABLE and a beautiful time. I'm pretty sure that the Sistene Chapel was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It increased my faith as I realized only God himself could inspire such angelic art.

I love to salsa dance and dance in general. I've always wanted to become a dancer and currently learning to be a ballroom dance etcher and am hoping to compete this summer with my dance partner. I'm also about to take my real estate exam and do sales on the side. Enough about me! Tell me about you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the sistene chapel. ABSOLUTELY ANGELIC. - November 2011 Prayed in the Garden of Gethsemene where Jesus prayed. DEEPLY MOVING. Floated in the dead sea. Wish we had one of those in the states! Enjoyed the midievil city of sienna and its towers. Did a wine tasting in Chianti - was invited to stay at our guides house that night and made great friends with him and his girlfriend. They even made us homemade coffee and pasta and breakfast in the morning. With complete strangers. It was probably one of the most wild and fun and outrageous things I've done. The same thing happened at our 12 hour layover home in Berlin, Germany. Complete sweet stranger invited us on the bus as we were going to explore the city - to her house! She knew we were going to try to find a hotel and werent staying long, so she offered to stay with her and her roommate. We stayed up late having sweet liquor and home made apple cinnamon pastries she popped in the oven. The hospitality we were shown was so beautiful. We seen David in Florence - the great statue. We seen the Pieta in Rome - along with St. Peters Cathedral. Unbelievable!! And I must say the the Duges Palace in Venice was SOMETHING ELSE! I've never been in a mansion with soooo many pictures on the walls everywhere. We got to do a gondala ride in venice which was quite romantic! I've also lived in Vegas for 1.5 yrs and went to the Caribbean on an 11 day cruise - St Lucia, Barbados, Aruba, Also Orlando, LA, Thats it. :)
