I owe a big thanks to my uncle Phil for taking me to Europe in the summer of 2010, just after my graduation from high school. As mentioned in my About page, Aeua was a catalyst for change in my life – and this trip is an additional element to that. It’s playing an important role in the back of my mind for my desire to live a better life.It’s a pivotal figure in my heart that is driving me to experience more out of life.

Both Scotland and Ireland are places I would like to – and will – visit again at some point in the future.

Uncle Phil, I owe you so much for this trip in more ways than I can express. Opening my eyes to new cultures, new territory, new worlds to explore; to live a life of adventure; to spur on an increased passion to explore art; and to realize there is far more to life than what I can even imagine.

Thank you.
