OBRIGADO!  

 

Thank you to all of my friends and family

for helping to make my dream come true!

My journey has begun!  As an International

Relations major pursuing a potential double

major in Communications, it has been my life

dream to travel to many beautiful countries with life changing learning experiences. And because of your support it is happening this summer… summer 2015. I have always had a fascination with Brazil; the land, the people, the culture, and especially the game of soccer! After completing six years of Spanish, the lure of Brazil keeps calling me so this past year I have begun studying Portuguese in preparation for my travels and I have fallen in love with the language.I cannot wait!!!!!

I look forward to amazing people, places, and events and will be keeping you informed right here!

 

I invite you to share my journey.
