Well hello there! Now that you have stumbled upon my blog, bare with me as I tell you a little bit about myself. 

  • My name is Alycia Marie McKitrick
  • I was born on May 3rd, 1996
  • I just recently graduated from Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School
     
     

  • My home is in Calgary, AB, CANADA (woohoo)
  • I used to live in Huntington Beach, California but all my loyalty lies in Canada 
  • I am the oldest of four daughters (yes, yes that IS a lot of estrogen)
  • My wonderful parents are Dave and Cynthia McKitrick
  • At the moment I aspire to one day be a sort of singing missionary nurse lady, because.. ya know.. that’s a thing
  • My love of music comes second only after my love for Jesus
  • I have a strange love/curiosity with old swing and jazz music
  • Although I have never even attempted to play it, I think the alto saxophone makes one of the most beautiful sounds in the world, actually any sort of saxophone is high on that list
  • My favourite colour is a 3-way tie between yellow, purple, and blue, okay and also green. I like colour.
  • My favourite place I’ve ever been to (so far) is Salzburg, Austria
  • I am obsessed with musicals, especially Sound of Music and Les Miserables
  • I am a HUGE fan of sushi and basically all oriental cuisine
  • I’m not too picky with food, but I will not eat Tuna or Salmon in any other form than sushi
  • I ate guinea pig once… I do not suggest it
  • As a child I went to Shakespeare camp (I’m supposed to write the really important stuff on here, right?)
  • On my 9th birthday I got stung by a stingray
  • I have two best friends, Sydney and Brooklyn, who are responsible for keeping me sane everyday (sometimes they fail but that is okay). They are the absolute best and I love them so much

 

  • I have a passion for missions

  • I seek to know God and make Him known all over the world!
  • I am a child of the King of Heaven and Earth, and love Him with all my heart!
  • My goal in life is to worship God and bring Him glory through all I do!

 

I am so incredibly excited to go on the World Race Gap Year, but NEED your support in order for my dreams to become a reality! This adventure will cost exactly $ 13,572.41 CAD so any amount is greatly appreciated and makes a difference. If you are able or willing to support me financially, press the Support Me! icon on the left side of this page. Prayer is also something that I would love to be covered in by all of you. Prayer for me financially, and that God would prepare my heart for all the challenges and growth that are expected from this trip. Thank you! God bless!
