I'm the kind of girl that adores exploration and adventure.
Here all my thrills will be documented.
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not writing this post in a "Hah! Look what I've gotten to do in my life!" kind of way, but rather a way of expressing my grattitude for the unbelievable blessings that have graced me in my short sixteen and a half years.

- Travelled across France.
- My mom and stepdad got married in Scotland.
