Hello everyone and sorry for the late post!! Words cannot describe how excited I am to be taking this trip with all of you! This will be my first time traveling with habitat for humanity and I really cannot wait for April to get here. I absolutely love to travel (as I’m sure all of us do!) and throughout college I took the opportunity to study and travel throughout England, Wales, Scotland, France, Ireland, The Czech Republic and Austria. However, the greatest trip for me was when I visited Costa Rica to study sustainable business. During our stay we helped out the village we were staying in, not only by finding ways to help their local economy but also by helping to clean their community and build basic structures. It was such a great experience that I knew I wanted to do something similar again someday, which got me interested in Habitat! Last summer I backpacked up the coast of Australia with a friend and EVERYONE we met mentioned how beautiful Thailand was. I knew I had to go someday (though I didn’t know how soon!). Put those stories together and that is why I decided to do Habitat for Humanity in Thailand! As for hobbies and interests- I like being active and as vague as that may sound you can pick anything from kayaking to running and I probably enjoy it. Other than that I enjoy reading, playing guitar, listening to music, going to the movies and hanging out with friends.

I am glad we have such a good group going and I am looking forward to meeting all of you! If you have any questions at all feel free to shoot me an e-mail at patrickjkent@gmail.com
