Real Life

I've had some pretty cool adventures in my young life. I'm only 24 years old, but have traveled the world, traveled this great country, and had the time of my life with friends and family.... and it's only getting started!

I'm moving in 3 short days to the San Francisco Bay area in northern California for graduate school. Even though I've seen the world, this Southern girl has never lived outside the great state of Florida. I'm greatly looking forward to living (for a few years) in the beautiful Bay Area (that I visited a few years ago with friends).

Here is a look back at a few great adventures I've had over the years that haven't been showcased in my (mostly pathetic) blog thus far...

Asia Lovin'

I love Asia. Really love Asia. Even though I've only been to a handful of Asian countries, each time I step off the plane, I feel like I'm coming home.

Asian people are so kind and hospitable, and love to hear about America... and love to practice their English!

Asia has some absolutely beautiful places to see and visit, and some of the most breathtaking views I've seen around the world are in this beautiful place!

Parts of the continent of Asia are the darkest places on earth, spiritually speaking. Many people have never heard the name of Jesus. I also love sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ when I'm in Asia!
