Before the Journey Begins...

For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to travel the world and love the people in it. God has created such a magnificent planet, but so far I’ve only known one small piece of the United States. I’m so excited to announce that next Fall I will be studying at Bond University on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia! I could not be more grateful for this opportunity.

I’m currently a DCE major (which means Director of Christian Education) at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. While I’m abroad I will have the opportunity to connect with a DCE who also attended Concordia and is now doing ministry in Brisbane. I’ve been interested in working internationally, so I can’t wait to meet him and learn about what it’s like serving the Lord in Australia!
Next semester will bring me out of my comfort zone and into a whole new adventure. I will be able to take different types of classes, learn from new professors, experience an unfamiliar culture, try Australian cuisine (Yum!), hike with the koalas and kangaroos, and maybe even learn to surf! I’m so excited to see a new way of life and share these awesome adventures with people from all around the globe—this opportunity is unreal!!
I’ve created this blog so my family & friends can keep up-to-date with my Aussie Adventure. I plan to post at least once a week once I’m abroad and add pictures and videos of my experience! Feel free to subscribe in the webpage footer to be updated when I post something new! I truly appreciate your prayers as I embark on this journey.
