The Trailhead: Where I’m Coming From
Hi, Hello, Howdyyyyy! (No I am not a cowgirl, but I am from Texas). My name is Kelsi and I am 25 years old, born and raised in Austin, TX. Growing up my family (parents, older brother, and two younger sisters) and I loved to camp at the beach, hike in the mountains and sail at the lake. I also played a lot of soccer and ended up playing soccer in college for Southern Methodist University, where I graduated with a B.S. in Biology in 2006. I’ve lived in Dallas for just over 6 years, and although different from Austin, I have grown to like it’s finer points. 

 

Trekking Onward! Where I’m Going

I was first presented with the the idea of The World Race in 2006, and I am so excited that God has made it a reality for October 2009! I will be turning 26 the day before I leave and am excited for such an adventure in my 26th year of life. I became a Christian when I was 18, but it has been in the past three years that, through grace and sanctification, I have truly come to pursue Jesus and to desire to live for God and His glory. I also love the perpetual motion of traveling; seeing new things, meeting new people, seeking adventure, and I am excited for a challenging and amazing opportunity to do work for the Lord. I know that God has placed that love for adventure in me so that I will bring the love and hope of Jesus to others. I truly just want to live out Matthew 22:36-40!
 
Lookout Point: A Few Extras
  • I love my family and friends! and I enjoy being around and getting to know a variety of people. 
    
  • I enjoy reading at coffee shops, the beach, on airplanes, and the occasional park bench in Spain. Some may say I spend too much time at Crooked Tree Coffeehouse, but I disagree. 
  • I also like crossword puzzles and costumes.
   
  
  • I use the word ridiculous a lot.
  • I don’t like coffee, but I do like orange juice (especially from Central Market because it’s fresh daily) and peppermint hot chocolate is my drink of choice in the winter.
  • I like to go backpacking in Colorado (even if we get lost), bike riding around White Rock Lake in Dallas (even when it’s really windy), and running (around Town Lake in Austin is fun).
   
  • I’m a bit of a night owl sometimes.
  • I like nature (especially sunsets and clouds) and photography and photography of nature.
  • I love music (an eclectic variety) and have it playing almost all the time, and I love to dance anywhere and everywhere.
  • I like to do a little writing, a little cooking, and the occasional drawing of a stick figure.
