Lip quivering and hands shaking, I fly over the equator as the sun fills the sky with pastel pinks, yellows, and oranges. I can’t help but shed a few tears (both happy and sad) as I leave life as I know it behind and start on my new adventure.

I embark on this journey to find hope. I yearn to gain a  grasp on the concept of sustainability, and acquire skills necessary to build a more wholesome food system. My mind, heart, and soul thrive openly within me, waiting to see how they will grow and all they will learn.
