About

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…

{Jack Kerouac}

I’m Hannah Ruthie.

I am: a 21(22)-year-old city girl, living in the suburbs, dreaming of seeing the world;
a believer in Jesus Christ who is learning what it means to have genuine faith;
studying communications at SPU;
feeling overwhelmingly trapped by my small town and college life.

My heart is for: the nations, for people, for going and serving.

My greatest dreams: becoming a published author;
living in Costa Rica;
backpacking through Europe;
seeing the Holy Land;
being fluent in Spanish and French;
adopting one or more children;
falling in love and getting married, someday.

Si Dios quiere.

Things that I especially love: Costa Rica; my brothers — Nathan & Seth; cats; experiencing new cultures; tacos from a taqueria; sushi; downtown Seattle; talking with strangers; getting and sending letters and postcards; writing; learning/speaking Spanish;  the beauty of language and art; going places I’ve never been and getting lost for a while; futbol; the sound of rain; campfires; being enamored by the sky; blustery days; being outside; being by the water; having friends all over the world; Skype chats; airplanes; new places; new faces; stamps in my passport
