My Travel Story

Everyone can relate to feeling stuck in the same spot their whole life. Most realize half way through their life that they did not see the places that they wanted to see. I created this campaign to finally take the first step in doing something good for myself. I have daydreamed about South Africa and Eurpoe for years now and it is time to stop putting it off.
I plan to volunteer in South Africa for childcare and hopefully Romania for special needs care. In 2017 I will graduate with my bachelor's in social work. Those two volunteer destinations and projects will give me the necessary experience to further prepare me for the populations I plan to serve as a social worker. I plan on making a difference through my volunteer experiences by connecting and making relationships with the children and families I serve along with other volunteers from various backgrounds.These trips would help me fill the hearts of others while continuing to fill my own through the experiences I will have at my volunteer site.  It is time to make life happen now.
