We have spent the last couple of days truly soaking in the Chinese culture. We had a class on the development, food, language, and art of Tianjin. During the class, I fell in love with all the different types of artwork, especially the ones made out of CANDY! I was now on a mission to find this beautiful art, so the next day we ventured out to Culture Street again. While on my hunt for candy art, I came across a man who was hand painting calligraphy on to a scroll. It was so amazing to watch him effortlessly create this colorful painting. After purchasing my scroll, I found a sweet little man creating different animals out of melted sugar. I was so excited to have found my candy art! Mission Accomplished!
The artist in action!

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.”
