CURRENT MISSION

Its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

ABOUT ME

I am 20 years old. I was born and raised in my hometown in Washington State. I have traveled a lot, mostly within the US but my parents did take the family to scotland for a month when I was 10. I have a twin sister who is my best friend. She is actually the reason I'm here in Dubai..and I also have a sister who is 18 months older. We are all very close. My parents have been together for 26 years and have been my example of love lasting forever.I am up for just about anything, I love roughing it camping but I also love nice hotels with a bar in the pool.=) Allison and I went to mexico together at the beginning of the year and we are meeting in Switzerland june 9th to do some more traveling together. I am a very laid back and go with the flow type of person. I am very energetic and like being busy..after all i am a leo. =)

PHILOSOPHY

I was born and raised in a Christian home. I don't like religion and I dont want that to define me because there are so many negative assumptions and 'christian' people giving themselves a bad name. Anyhow, I believe in God, I believe in a heaven and a hell. I go to church whenever I can back home and I love that there is something more than what this life has to offer.I am very grounded in my faith. I believe that we are just passing through and our time here is short, so I want to see as much of it as possible! "the unexamined life is not worth living"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Mississippi a couple springs ago to help the victims of hurricane katrina..that was one of the most rewarding experiences so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission

"Get busy living, or get busy dying. "

If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected happens

How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterwards.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
