One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been able to do and see many amazing things, but seeing someone's life changed has to be the most amazing thing ever. A few years ago I did something called the World Race where I went to 11 countries in 11 months to help people. Even though I lost a ton of weight and got malaria it was so worth it and a true blessing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little Turkish, a lot of English, some guitar, and good conversation about a lot of things. I also love books and you are welcome to kick back and read while you are here.
