May 2008
It has been 3 years since my around the world journey and have had limited travels since. Below are a few trips I've had since. I will try to update this soon.
In 2005, I had the extraordinary honor to represent Mercy Corps, an international humanitarian agency, during the G8 conference in Scotland. Mercy Corps, as well as over 500 other organizations from around the world, attended a conference near the G8 summit in Scotland to pressure the G8 leaders to fund policies that would end extreme poverty.

In 2006, my travels brought me to Spain, Berlin and Prague.
In 2007, I went to LA, Seattle, and Hawaii.
I leave in a few days for a trip to the homeland, Turkey, where my grandmother set sail for a distant land called America 88 years prior.
I hope to post my photos shortly upon my return.
Below are a few organizations that I think do tremendous work around the world. Please donate your time, money and efforts if you can.
