Tara and I have only been friends are little over a year now, yet it feels like a life time. Both of us are environmental activists, vegetarians, and we just in tune to each other. She was there for me when my grandmother fell ill and then eventually passed away in July. Tara has always been my shoulder to lean on when things got tough and I don’t know how I lived without her- literally. From the little inside jokes to the amazing talks we have- she really is someone special and I feel honored to have her as a best friend. We have been camping buddies at the local campsites but never have we had the money to go outside the State- or even the Country. This contest would be amazing to win because not only will we get to go “Down under” but we will get to make amazing memories of a life time. Something I feel she deserves!
