About Me

After finishing a 2month mission trip to Auckland, New Zealand, I am currently readjusting to life in the States. I'll be moving back to FL to work who knows where doing who knows what. I'll let you know more when I know more..."You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more."
- Psalm 10:17-18
You Should Learn French
C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs.
You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up... What Language Should You Learn?
Your Travel Personality Is: The Adventurer
For you, travel is how you learn about the world. And you like to learn the stuff that's not in guidebooks.
You truly have wanderlust. When you're not traveling, you're dreaming about where you'll go next.
And your travels are truly legendary - they leave you with stories you'll be telling for the rest of your life! What's Your Travel Personality?
