Meet Katie!

Hola! I'm Kaitlin (Katie) and this is my second trip to Peru! I am 16 years old and going to be a senior this next year! I play the alto saxophone and flute in the high school band, and am a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Looking Forward: I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of the team members and the people in Peru! I'm also excited to expand my Spanish as I am going on four years of formal Spanish, and attending classes at the college level.

Favorite Song: My favorite song is "Con te Partirò" a duet by Andrea Bocelli and Sara Brightman! Why? I LOVE ITALY! I am obsessed with anything Italian! The male singer in this duet is Italian ♥ but he is blind! Andrea Bocelli is a big inspiration to me because he doesn't let his condition stand in the way, and is an amazing singer. I also love the female singer in this song because she played Christine in the original Phantom of the Opera! (My FAVORITE musical ♥)
Why I am going:

I am going to Peru to serve God and the people of Peru. I want to reflect not only my country but myself in a positive light, while I am away. I am also going to learn their customs, culture and their language.
