A Mother's Love

I received THE SWEETEST Valentine card in the mail today, from my mom:


"The very moment you came into my life, everything changed.

You gave me more beauty, happiness, and love than I could've ever imagined.

But what I couldn't have known is just how much you would change the world around you.

I'm so proud of you and everything you do and the lovely, intelligent woman you've become-- I love you very much. Happy Valentine's Day!"

Thank you, Mama! <3

Phi Kappa Phi Grad Gear!

I just ordered my medallion, stole, and honor cord from Phi Kappa Phi for my upcoming graduation... now, it's all becoming so much more real and so much more exciting!!! 




How Do You Say Hello?

Hello! Bonjour! Zdravstvuj! G'day! Guten tag! Hej! Zdravo! Jambo!

Bear with me, but I wanted to send a shout out to my current top viewing countries:
US, France, Russia, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Slovenia, Denmark, and Kenya!

Nearly each of these countries are on my list of places to visit... my heart gets so full just thinking about it! This summer might consist of a tropical destination, but a dream of mine is to do some volunteer work in an orphanage in Africa sometime in the next few years.

Also, Europe originally inspired my bug to travel. I took French for four years and had such an intelligent and passionate teacher... every time she spoke of her travels, it made me more certain that traveling abroad was in my future. I cannot wait to someday view the architecture and visit the museums of Europe!

Thank you for following my blog. Cross-cultural studies is my passion, and with so many countries represented in my viewers, that passion is ignited!

Find your passion and pursue it. Surround yourself with people, places, and things that make you thirsty for more and that feed your passions.
