There are many reasons. For starters, I wanted to become a better person. I wanted to learn more about myself. Through my journey, I saw many lovely things and was moved by many scenes. When I landed back in my country, I knew that I had become better. I also love children very much. Children are very important. Truly, I hope that every child can have a happy childhood. I want to see children smiling and laughing out loud, I don't want to see them crying, trapped, and with no hope for the future. Children need to receive love from this world, as well as the right care and a sense of safety and belonging. I know how hard it would be when someone feels totally helpless, and I would like to be a shoulder to lean on for those in need. I want to do my best to help others and to make this world a better place.

I am living in South Korea as an English teacher. Living in a city like Seoul is a hard adjustment to make when you come from a small town in Oregon. I was accustomed to living in a wild, natural environment, so when I was placed in Seoul, my mountains were transformed into skyscrapers and my rivers were turned into busy streets. It is a different kind of wild. But, from my initial move abroad, I was able to recognize the profound and fundamental changes that happen to you once you travel.

At the time, I wanted to go to med school, and wanted to shadow doctors and go abroad at the same time because I love to travel. I found Love Volunteers, who are relatively inexpensive, so there I went!
