High on Summertime


Good news...I survived my first year! yay! Holy Moly its been a while! I’ve obviously been enjoying my much needed summer vacation. This is my first summer since I was 16 that I haven’t had at least one job! “What’ve you been doing with your life?” , you may wonder. Well, I’m glad you asked! Take a look:

Fethiye and Kas

A beautiful week down on the Mediterranean Sea on the south coast of Turkey. I ate lots of fresh sea food, enjoyed splashing in the water, and even went paragliding (a risky behavior according to my mother)!








U.S. of A!

Yes, I went back to the states for the first time in almost a year, and I must say,  it was wonderful! Its all of those little things that make it home. Oh and one of the best parts.... MEXICAN FOOD! Almost every meal :) I went camping up in Colorado with my dad and brother and then over to San Diego with my mom, sister and brother. I’ve missed my family so much, and it meant a lot that they made this past month so special. I saw friends and family and basically just tried to stay out of the heat! 








I’m back in Ankara now, and I must admit that its nice to be back and in my own lojman. I’m so excited to start school, that I even went in the last two days to try to help sort the book orders. My classroom is a wreck, but we’ve got so many new resources that I can’t help but to feel hopeful about this year. 

Up next: Italy! I leave bright and early in the morning for my first real solo trip :)
