Aloha

"For the beauty of the Earth, for the glory of the skies; for the love which from our birth, over and around us lies; Lord of all, to Thee we raise this, our hymn of grateful praise." hymn by Folliott S. Pierpoint

This is an expression of my love for life.

I am very captivated by everything beautiful, especially in regard to this planet of ours. Nature fascinates me and traveling allows me to experience its diversity in different countries and climates. Traveling has been a part of my life since birth, and is something I will do forever. I long to go places and create memories. I have lists of cities and countries that I am dying to visit. My previous journeys have already given me the best memories that I have collected in my 19 years of life. But the older I become, the more anxious and excited I am to travel. Perhaps it's in fear of losing my flight attendant father's airline benefits once I graduate college, or maybe an increased appreciation for seeing different places. I'll just guess both. I'm willing to use whatever excuse I have.
Aside from all this, I must say in this first entry that there is no place I have been to in the world that can compare with my home. Although I may not remember to thank God every day that I live in such a gorgeous place, I am able to say that Hawaii has never ceased to amaze me. Hawaii has so much to give: beaches, surf, mountains, cultures and foods. Every place I have been to has its own unique aspects, but I still must say that there is no place else that I would rather live.

Now then, I don't intend to post anything with an alarmingly large amount of words because it scares people away from reading everything. This will end sweetly and abruptly. I hope to share with you my amusement and pictures from my travels, both past, present and future (new trip coming up next week!). I hope you are able to enjoy them as much as I do.
