My Travel Story

I recently dropped out of Cortiva (massage therapy program) to pursue my dream of traveling & volunteering abroad. Having to quit my job to attend classes & doing something out of love just for the future promise of "better money" stopped being appealing me. When the only reason I want to make money is to satisfy my wanderlust crave. Now $15k in tuition debt, I plan on raising as much money as possible from fundraising and working. To accomplish my goal/passion in making a positive impact worldwide, wether it's teaching kids English, planting trees, building homes, or rescuing wild animals. I'm so excited to start this lifetime journey of volunteering in Costa Rica for a 12 week Sea Turtle Conservation project in February.
