Washington State, United States

born and raised in western washington

Washington is a beautiful state. There is a little bit of everything here. A wide variety of different attractions/things to do. I grew up in a small town between the Casecade foothills and the puget sound, right off of I-5. You can go to the Seattle metropolitan area, hop a ferry to the San Juans or other islands, drive to the peninsula and visit the rainforest and/or the ocean shores, go wine tasting, go boating on any of the numerous bodies of water, head east for camping and hiking, etc.

Jamaica, Central America And The Caribbean

Spent about a month in the middle of the island

I went to Jamaica on a mission trip to teach bible study and “spread God’s word.” What I quickly realized is that Jamaicans are generally already very religious/spiritual people and that they really didn’t need bible study. What they needed was money, school supplies, school uniforms, health care, better law enforcement, etc., etc. I could go on and on. I felt silly putting my efforts into reinforcing their faith (which they already have plenty of in a variety of forms) when I could have been putting effort into organizing resources and whatnot.

Anyways, despite the widespread poverty it is a beautiful island and a beautiful culture. We went to Mo bay for a couple days while we were there. It was great. But, I strongly encourage people to check out the real island life/culture. Don’t just go wandering, of course…especially if you are white. Some of the natives (rasafarians) won’t recieve you very well.
