Firstly, I want to thank everyone who have helped me reach my dream, from personal messages, warm hugs and kisses, to finanicial assistance from all over the world!!!

Without all of you, this trip of a lifetime would not have been possible!!

My goal was to reach somewhere in the top 20 and my final placing was 4th!!

I was the highest non-american placing of 52 contestants!!

To Tyler, congratulations my friend! You have my love, respect and support!
