In the next 30 days I will be documenting my own educational, travel-based adventure!

The Mission: To discover the root causes of urban poverty in the United States through service-learning experiences across the US.

The Method:
Completing service projects in 11 cities of the US that each explores one of the root causes of urban poverty in America.

The Outcome:
To create an educational dialogue that provides citizens across the US with the tools on how they can contribute the little time they have to helping their own communities come together and problem solve for a better tomorrow.

I invite you to open your mind and join me on my journey!
Those that let their minds soar, fly JetBlue!

“Would you like to try a piece of my..."

Entrance to Pike Market Center!


Pike Market is a must see when visiting the city of Seattle.  It is composed of a long strip of stands that range from organically grown produce to beautiful floral arrangements that mark up at around $5.00 per bouquet!  My first impression of the market was a bit overwhelming.  As you enter, an instant explosion of senses erupts and creates an almost mind-altering experience. You pass street performers playing a banjo and a swamp, string drum and your nose fills with the music of fresh-cut flowers and crisp fruits and veges! I walked up and down the market getting lost in everything that was happening around me until I found the new love of my life. 

She had an slender body with some curves and a magnificent glow about her.  With a soft body and enhancing aroma, it was difficult for me to turn down her constant enticing advances.  As I approached her, my breathe was taken away and I could barely formulate words to say Hello.  It has been a while since I have fallen in love at first glance, but she made my veins pulse and my heart beat faster.  I had never tried her kind before, which added to the nerves, but I knew that I had to make a move or else.  I dove in, her sweet skin brushed mine and our mouths locked.  Another explosion of sensory overload occurred and I was lost in the moment.  The market had disappeard and it was only us, in this warm embrace.  As soon as it had started it was over and I had to run to my next meeting at University of Washington.  I promised her I would be back for her before I left Seattle, and today I will go back and embrace her once again.
