It's hard to comprehend the kindness of strangers. During the last nine months all across three continents my life has been blessed with people I have just met going out of their way to help me on my way. Even growing up in a small, friendly west Texas town I have always known to be careful when dealing with strangers. I've been taught to be kind but suspicious and arguable overly careful.

This last year has taught me to embrace my fellow man and enjoy the exchange a stranger can provide. I would have never had all of these amazing experiences if I hadn't put myself out there, taken a few risks, and met as many strangers as possible. If you've been following my site for awhile you know I've met some wonderful people. These months have definitely been interesting times and I'm excited about the people in front of me I have yet to meet. Stay tuned for more!
