My Travel Story

Hello Everyone!  I have always dreamt that one day I would run off into the sunset and travel abroad with a backpack, camera, laptop, and a purpose!  Purpose you ask?  What might be so purpose driven that you need to travel the world to find an answer?  Let me explain......Before my present day life of Wife, Mother,and Career; I imagined that I would make a change in this home we call Earth!  I dreamed that I would feed starving children, build homes and teach english to those without!  Well time flew by faster than I could ever imagine.  And low and behold I haven't done any of those..I have done community service and even taught religious education to name a few. As I sit here today and think about my noble quest, I realised that maybe GOD had a even better plan.  We are faced with so many challenges as members of this society of Earth.  We struggle to find Love, companionship, faith, purpose, meaning, and we are divided on so many issues such as Racism, Equality, & Freedom to Choose Love!  How does this relate to world travel?  In my noble quest I have also realized that some of the best minds I can influence call me "MOMMY".  My children often come to me with many questions about how different it is in other countries.  I am quite sure they have my influence and seek to fullfill a longing to help others.  This is not a mission trip for us as a family, it would be a learning, researching, and cultural exchange for us.  I would be VLOGGING the whole trip to show how others are living out their purpose in other countries.  What are others concerned about, what is different in their culture, their daily lives, what motivates them to find faith, love, and equality.  Is the United States so different from all the other countries in the world?  Does Hatred run deep or do we really have such torlance for each other.  We would travel to the countries I have listed such as South Africa, France, Japan, Italy, UK, Austria, Germany, and a few more to meet and study the difference in culture, love, racism, and faith practices.  This trip would begin May 2018 and end in September 2018 with myself, my husband and our two children.  Would need the help of the community to fund this expedition along side our efforts to raise $30,000.  Thank you for reading and remember a little goes a long way.
