adventures ahead

I've never really thought that I would be the adventurous type. I was such a shy child, never really speaking out. But, as I have gotten older (being in my mid-20s) I have realised that there is no point in wasting time in doing nothing. The world is out there! I need to go see it.

Here is a bit about me:

• I am a recent university graduate. I earned a BA in Middle Eastern Studies/Arabic with a minor in archaeology.
• I am currently working a "go-between" job to earn money for the future...(I have some exciting plans).
• I love culture, languages, and food! 
• I love to travel, even though I haven't been a lot of places yet. But, I absolutely despise long bus rides.
• I am actively pursuing a career in TEFL/TESOL.

I am excited to share my adventures, even though I have no idea where they might take me. I have been a few places, like the glittering (yet smelly) Nile:

The beautiful temples of ancient Egypt:

The green countryside of England:

And the gorgeous city of Jerusalem:

(yes..that is me)

I have been able to study Latin, Arabic, Italian, and Mandarin Chinese. Though I am not fluent in any of these languages, I have come to appreciate and understand more of each culture, each place. My greatest desire is for everyone to be happy and enjoy one another without war and chaos. I want to help people, travel the world and do what I can to assist in making the world a better place. 

That's me...a closet foreigner.
