Hey everyone! This page is dedicated to fundraising our "'Round The World" trip coming up in the end of August! If you don't already know, the idea of a RTW trip is to purchase one huge plane ticket that travels East around the globe and encompasses plenty of stops along the way! For almost nine months or so we'll be traveling from Europe to Africa, Australia to Asia, and end in South America before we head home. Many don't understand this crazy, life-learning opportunity. Although we're hoping many of you will!

We truly, desperately, thoroughly, completely, YEARN to see this once in a lifetime dream come true. We are two senior girls in high school who have no clue what to do with the already- blessed lives of our own. Before heading off to college, we want to see the world for all its wonder and discover some kind of passion to call our own! We're hoping and praying that this incredible occassion will not only open our eyes to all our possibilities, but also be an event to inspire others.

There are plenty of people here in America that simply can not, and will not, find any reason to travel. "Why would you want to leave this country? We have everything we need right here." We say, "Yea that's the problem." Hopefully (and I KNOW we can, with help) we will change their minds. People NEED to see how good they have it. They also need to see what they're missing! The amount of pure wonder, experience, and lessons to be found through traveling and meeting new people is, simply- undescribable. We have such a fiery passion in our hearts to spread the love for diversity and all-around open mindedness.

To do all of this, we need that ticket. It's the only thing stopping us from sharing our discoveries with the community. If our goal is fueled over 100% we can donate the rest to our local college's study abroad program-WHICH IS EVEN MORE AWESOME.

We want to thank you by sending you our personal pieces of art and photography! These items have either been inspired by, or literally taken from, places all over the world. They look great as house decor :) Help us spread the good and follow our dreams!!

If you wish to donate, the pictures/artwork you may choose from are located at our website. The website link is located under the "About Me" tab- while you're there, give yourself a chance to get to know us! You may choose all photography pieces, all art pieces, or your own personal mix! Photos will be 5x7's and the artwork sizes will be disclosed after you've chosen. It's so close we can taste it :D
