CURRENT MISSION "Start writing a new chapter, for if you live by the book you'll never make history." ABOUT ME I am currently 28 years old and I have wanted to travel pretty much my entire life. Living in America, I have driven across the country and been to the Caribbean and Canada but never expanded past the western Hemisphere. I am moving to England in 2012 and going to visit in the summer of 2011 to looks at schools. I have never traveled alone before but I am extremely excited to break away from this bubble of people that I am in constant contact with. I think that meeting new people of different cultures and backgrounds will help me become a more well rounded individual and since American history only goes back a couple of centuries, I am interested in seeing all the history the rest of the world has to offer. I know.. Im a geek.. PHILOSOPHY Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. - Melody Beattie
