Fan vs. Wild!

This is what I submitted to Fan vs. Wild
My most extreme adventure may be a surprise to you, as the setting for it is more of a concrete jungle. As I pondered over which one of my many adventures I was going to choose, I decided that although I’ve travelled to many places around the world and done a lot of exciting and unusual things this was the adventure that I’ve grown the most from and was able to serve other people the most. I lived in Russia for two years of my life, not only serving the people but also serving the Lord. I lived amongst the native people and had to learn their culture and language which is an adventure in itself. I was able to give back to them by doing hundreds of service projects, everything from gardening, to picking up trash, and even teaching English in many public schools and Universities. In Russia every day is a struggle to survive, the water is rancid, the streets are dangerous, and the winters are frigid. In every episode Bear is thrown into a foreign and hostile environment, I think if I can survive in Russia, I can survive anywhere you decided to throw me.

I love the outdoors! I live life as if everything is an adventure. I’ve grown up living from one extreme sport to the next. I love to feel the rush of adrenaline and then the awesome feeling of accomplishment after you’ve conquered the fear and anxiety of facing that challenge. I think I should be chosen to be the Fan vs. Wild because I embrace the thrill of adventure just as Bear does. I am the biggest fan of Bear. Please take the time to look over my blog and I think you’ll see why I should be chosen.

I’m a huge fan of Bear Grylls. I’ve read his book, “The Kid Who Climbed Everest” and am currently reading “Man vs. Wild Survival Techniques from the most dangerous places on Earth”. I’ve seen every episode Man vs. Wild, and many, more than once. I’ve even watched Bear on “Escape to the Legion.” I’m looking forward to “Worst Case Scenario.” I enjoy reading about everything he has done and what he’s overcome in his life. I like to read all his little quotes about life. They help me look at this big adventure we call life in a totally different perspective.
