My Travel Story

Since I was a young child, I never had a set career in mind, but I always knew that I wanted to help people. I loved experiencing other cultures, learning different languages, hearing people's stories.... it's all so exciting and unifying. As a young adult now, I find that mindset to be even more important. The politically charged state of the world is feeling cracked - everyone seemingly taking sides and fearing the unknown. We all seem to be drifting apart, turning on eahother. I want to do as much traveling as possible to spread as much hope and togetherness as I can. 

Ive been studying the German language for three years now, having had a random fascination with the culture since I was a kid. I have since made several friends in the Munich area online, friends who have changed my perspective on things and taught me many lessons through our limited communication. The notion that I could raise enough money to meet these people in person and experience the beautiful country of Germany hands-on is a beautiful one. The way the world is now, we can only come together and engage in as much love and memory-making as possible. Please help me make this trip happen! If I keep up my studies, and volunteer in Munich - better learn the language and assist in work as best I can - I believe it's possible to make the difference I've always wanted to.
