I was honored to be given the opportunity at age 16 to travel to Madrid, Spain as a foreign exchange student. It was my first time abroad, and I became absolutely addicted to travel from that point forth. I have since traveled all over the globe, some for work/mission trips and some for pleasure. I have traveled to over 60 countries so far, and hope to one day be able to report that I have visited them ALL. I have had so many unique and memorable and life-changing experiences! I have been camel riding in the Sahara Desert, whitewater rafting in France, paragliding in New Zealand, skydiving in Australia, elephant riding through the Thailand jungle, boat cruising in Vietnam, swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, insect eating in Cambodia, cage diving with the great white sharks in South Africa, hang gliding in Brazil, sailing in the Caribbean, ziplining in Costa Rica, scuba diving in the Philippines, mountain climbing in Antarctica, ……and so much more. I feel blessed for every single day of life I am given on this Earth and I try to live each day as if it could be my last. “Carpe Diem!” – Horace
