Let me introduce myself, my name is Rayna Joy, I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. I am 23 years young! I have a passion for art and I love to help people. I have had a lot of chaotic contemplation of  ’what to do with my life’. I’ve touched basically every area that has brought joy into my life. I’ve taught children, went to art school, and opened my own glassblowing studio. But there’s always been something missing.

Needless to say…

I will be embarking on a new journey around the world, and you can follow me every step of the way! In January I will be going on the World Race. I will be going with a team of people to 11 countries in 11 months! Route 3, China, Philippines, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Albania, Romania, India, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. We will travel the world and help the less fortunate. Changing the world one person at a time, restoring faith to those that have lost hope.

As you read my blog I will talk to you about the challenges before, during, and after this journey. I will express what I am feeling, what I am eating and where I'm sleeping. How my day is going and what I am trying to accomplish. I will have my ups and downs but this is an experience that nobody can duplicate. It will be unique and there will be many obstacles. One of the hardest things I have to do is raise 15,000 to go on this trip. My family is supportive but basically I am doing this alone. I am pooling advice and support from EVERYONE that touches my life.

If you’re interested in knowing more about what I am doing you can read more at www.theworldrace.org, and if you’re interested in supporting me you can click the support me tab at the top left of the page.

But mostly I need my readers to stand behind me and cheer me on, because I will have good days and I will have bad days. Please follow my blog, and we can go on this adventure around the world together.
