China

Confucius says…-Chelsea Hughes

Well I am back, so YES, I survived Mt. Tai! I am not going to lie though, there were some definite touch and go moments! But once we all reached the top, the view made every exhausting step worth it.  Yesterday, we took a tour of the home and temple of Confucius.  We had a lovely tour guide, John, who spent the day sharing his knowledge of Confucius and love for China with us.  These past two days have been amazing.  We have soaked up so much Chinese culture and even walked the same grounds as ancient Chinese philosophers.  I can not wait to see what else China has in store for us!

My “Eye of the Tiger” moment when I crossed the last step on Mt. Tai!

I graduated from UNA in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications / Theatre and a minor in Geography. After my first Geography class, I fell in love with the world. I found myself wanting to soak up as many cultures as possible and the best way to do this was to TRAVEL! In 2011 I was able to study theatre in New York City. I lived there 3 months and met people from America, England, Paris, and New Zealand. Our friendships opened so many wonderful doors, one being my first trip out of the country. In 2012, I got the amazing opportunity to stay with a friend for two weeks in London. All of these experiences not only have made me a better actress, but a better human being. Follow me on my next adventure of learning and exploring this beautiful world, and remember: “Not all who wander are lost.”
