CURRENT MISSION Spreading light and love! Enjoying everyone's cultures and learning from one another! ABOUT ME Why hello! I am 28...almost 29 ahhhh!!! i love JESUS!! I love the outdoors and anything that has to do with it! (hiking, biking, swimmming, ANYTHING) I LOVE Soccer and could play it all day everyday, and I also love playing other sports as well! As a kid, my dad was in the Navy so our family moved around a lot...the most interesting place i have lived was Japan for 3 years and I finally got the chance to move here again! I am currently living in Tamura teaching English for 2 years!! I spent the summer of 2011 in Europe traveling and studying...I think I caught the travel bug because I am itching to go travel more....and meet interesting people and hear their stories and experience all the world has to offer! I also spent a year in Australia in 2012-2013 and visited NZ for 2 months! Can't wait to meet more people from all over the world! PHILOSOPHY The journey begins outside your Comfort Zone! "If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awake all of yourself. If you want to eliminate suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self- transformation."-Lao Tzu- Conversations are the most influentional and most important events that will take place in your life. Just live free and never NEVER let fear paralyze you!
