Wow. We are official. Our initial flight leaves from LAX on Tuesday, February 19 to Nadi, Fiji for seven days. We hope to stay at some lovely beachside backpackers resort and revel in the incredulousness of our decision to leave behind our life, our comfort zone as we know it! The next leg is to New Zealand for two months, traveling all around the country working on Orangic Farms, staying with friends, and a myriad of incredible, life changing adventures that we can't even begin to fathom at this moment in time. Then, off to Cairns, Australia, the main entry point to the Great Barrier Reef....then who knows what?!? Universally it seems one must show an outbound ticket at time of entry into a new country. So the plan is to buy a 100% refundable ticket ... read more

Hey Y’all, After spending a couple quality weeks trying to catch up with everyone on the West Coast, it was time to get to the sun and surf. With a good friend of mine talking of 10 ft swell, offshore winds and sunny days, it was really a no-brainer to jump on a plane and head to Southern California, Newport Beach to be exact. Located in Orange County just south of LA, my friend Dave Kasa has an awesome place across the street from the beach and an ocean view to boot. Affectionately known as ‘Club 5000’ due to the large amount of international friends Dave has made, there are very few days a year where there isn’t at least someone surfing the couch as well as the waves. Dave is an awesome host, and hooked ... read more

We left Vegas and drove to California which is officially our last stop of our trek America Tour which is a good way means last night in tents but also means that we will soon have to say goodbye we decided to make the most of it and when we got to California, it was late afternoon so we decided to have a pop culture beach day and went to Laguna and Newport beach where we mucked around, played games and watched the Sunset while stuffing ourselves with pizza, made all the better when we won California against the rest of the world volleyball games even though though i have to admit there was twice as many of us. It was simple but we all enjoyed it and most of us stayed one chatting the rest ... read more

Okay so I'm still figuring out how this all works but it seems pretty cool so far. Bear with me, I'm still new at the blogging thing. Anyways, I leave for Capernwray Bible School in England in two days. I'm not completely packed but I'm getting there. I'm really excited but also kind of nervous because I'm not too sure what exactly to expect; getting there, staying with relatives, roommates, classes, etc. Thank you all for your love and support in my going away for a couple months. Please pray for me and pray that this will be a valuable chapter of my life and that I would be greatly impacted by all I learn and those I meet. God Bless! Oh and if you would like to write me my address at Capernwray will ... read more

So I made it to the states in one piece! However by the time my plane landed in LA my cold was pretty tragic, and I ended up temporarily deaf in one ear so it was crazy trying to talk to airport people, turning my head to the left so I could hear whoever was speaking to me. Getting through customs at LAX was strangely simple and only took a few minutes. Much shorter than the lines I had to wait in while trying to get out of Auckland airport. My Uncle Bob was there to pick me up from the airport, and we hit the freeway straight away, heading to the OC BABY!! We spent that afternoon driving around the streets of Newport Beach, in his PORSHE (which I forgot to get a photo ... read more
