I love traveling. July of 2003 I went to Teofelo Otoni, Brazil with 14 of my classmates, a couple of parent volunteers and one of my high school teachers. Teofilo Otoni is in the Brazilian highlands located Northeast of Belo Horizonte. We stayed with host famiiles for two and a half weeks while observing in the local grade school. It was an amazing eye opening experience. Unfortunetly, I lost touch with my wonderful host family but I still think of them often.

After I graduated high school in 2004, I went to England with two of my best friends. We stayed at my cousins house in a suburb outside of London. We spent the first weeksight seeing London traveling by foot, bus, and underground. The second week we took the train into the country traveling to places like Stone Henge, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Brighton.

Summer of 2005 my family spent 10 days at an eco-resort outside of Cancun, Mexico, where we stayed in tentalopas, swam in the beautiful Carribean sea and visited ancient Mayan ruins.
