I once had a dream to travel to Israel. As time kept ticking that dream turned into passion, which then turned into a reality. Since travel is more of hobby, it was very convenient packing up and moving to Israel for four months. I did a study abroad with Brigham Young University where we focused on the different religions; including, Islam, Judaism, and of course Christianity. We did many extended trips to  Turkey, Jordan, and Galilee.

From Summer of 2011-Summer 2012, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to live in Laie, Hawaii. I suggest if you love the sun, beach, and surf competitions every other week...you should move there too! Some of the best times of my life were in Hawaii where I had the chance to explore, learn, and grow as a person.
