Wow...dead blog much? Here I am, seven years later...

For updates on what is happening in my life now, post high school, post undergraduate work, post multiple trips abroad, visit rachelrene.wordpress.com.

Since you came all this way, however, let me tell you about a really fantastic organization you should check out, AmeriSpan.

I have decided, slightly tentatively, that I am going to backpack my way through South America. It's something that I have spent much time thinking about and even more time (I know that seems to be working in reverse) researching. There are so many volunteer organizations out there that it's a little overwhelming! And recently I decided it would greatly behoove me to begin my journey with a language program – also a daunting amount. That was when I discovered Amerispan.

As of now I can’t attest to them personally as I have never worked with them in the past, but they seem to be pretty legit. They offer language schools all over the world, but also study abroad, teaching, interning & working programs. And they have a really fail-proof guarantee:

  1. Satisfaction Guarantee Your satisfaction is our main concern. If you aren't satisfied, we'll pay for a week of group classes at the same program or another of your choice.

  2. 110% Price Guarantee - You never pay more with AmeriSpan because if you find a price lower than ours, we'll match it and take another 10% off.

  3. Full Money Back Guarantee - Change your mind for any reason and we'll refund 100% of any money paid to AmeriSpan…no questions asked.


If you too are thinking of making your away abroad any time soon, give it a looksy. Definitely worth the time. There are tons of travel resources on their site as well. I am looking at their language programs in South America, obviously. More specifically their program in Cartagena. Let me know what you think.

The Beach

I love the Beach! I went to Myrtle Beach earlier this summer and let me tell you, the night life is awesome! If you ever go, check out The House of Blues. But anyways, now I'm headed to check out two more beaches before the summer checks out and the school year checks in! First off, Ocean City for a mission trip. I'm excited, it's like going on vacation with some of your best friends and serving God at the same time! Then straight from there to Virginia Beach for a family getaway to the middle of nowhere! I know, it sounds lame and boring but It'll give me time to relax before the stress of school & let me actually read the book for English class! And the three chapters for U.S. History! Well, wish me luck! Byes!
