“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

T-minus 5 weeks til Ukraine!

So, in a little more than a month I will be on my way to Ukraine with four other lovely ladies from school. We get to go and volunteer with a missionary and help run an English camp for the youth in the Crimean Peninsula. I’m extremely excited for this opportunity as it will be my first real overseas experience. One of the girls in our group actually grew up in the area that we are going to and we get to go and visit the orphanage that she lived in. I was extremely fortunate that I was able to come up with the money so quickly. I actually was able to pay for the entire trip with my tax refund, so that was really amazing. I can’t wait for the time to come closer and to be able to share my experience with you guys!
