Do you want to be a power in the World? Then be yourself!! The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers, but most of all, the world needs dreamers who do... Once you believe in yourself you can risk Curiosity, Wonder, Spontaneity, Delight and all other experiences that reveal the human Spirit... Believe!!
Why am I traveling? I am taking this leave of absence and traveling the World because I want to! I am in search of an extraordinary journey, a grassroots effort to make a difference in the World. Perhaps to discover what it means to be a citizen of the World and a member of the human race… not separated by borders, belief systems, skin color, or political doctrine. The possibilities are endless and I’m preparing to take off on a round the world adventure! There have been many changes is my life in the last couple of months and this trip has been a dream of mine for years and I’m so excited to finally make it come true. I want/need to take time to think about things that matter to me rather than what is next on my list of things to do. I want to fumble through my phrase books, play charades with locals and attempt to bargain with vendors until they somewhat understand what I'm trying to say. I want to feel lonely and really miss the things that matter most to me. I want to hike to the top of mountains, trek through the jungle, swim in as many bodies of water than I come across and gasp at the sheer beauty of this world. I want to volunteer and serve people that really need my help, and in return, be reminded of how incredibly blessed I am.
I don't want to look back when I am older and regret that I didn’t allow myself to experience this world the way I wanted to. I am so thankful to have so many amazing and supportive people in my life that accept me for all of my crazy ways. Words seem so inadequate for me to express the way I feel about my family and friends – I would be completely lost without them, and I hope they all know what a difference they make in my life. I am so excited to start my trip, but I will definitely miss everyone.... but technically it’s not really “goodbye,” it’s just, “See you in a few months” Plus if anyone gets the travel bug while I’m gone, we can meet up along the way!
