Hiya!

First of all thank you for taking the time to come to my page. I am so excited for you to share this adventure with me! ??

Am I nervous?

Extremely

Am I crazy?

Any of my friends would tell you most definitely

Why am I doing this?

I have always had a heart for travel. Those that know me well know that I try and maximize every vacation. I’ve been to 20 countries and 28 states and I am only 26 years old. However, about a year ago right after going on a mission trip in Costa Rica, I explored the beautiful land of waterfalls called Iceland. There was hiking, backpacking, adventures galore, but something was missing… And that something was experiencing and giving God’s love.

 “Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” John 15:12-13

I have lived in a bubble called a blessed life. I want to take that bubble, burst it and spread what is inside it around the world. I want to love others the way God has loved me. I want to bless others by building a home, providing a meal, lending a listening ear, embracing the lonely in a hug, and sharing what God has done in my life. During my journey I intend to learn from others how to become more humble, selfless, compassionate, and give more than I receive. I plan to bring my experiences and changed heart back to my friends and family at home to live every day as Christ intended me to.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. You can support me in the following ways – pray, share, give, and willing to do life with me ??

I value each and every one of y’alls friendship. I thank God for all of you!

 

Love Liz <3
