Austin's Bio

My name is Austin Markford, I am 16 years old. I live in a small beach town on the east coast of south Florida called Vero Beach, well that’s not totally the truth I live in Vero 3 days of the week and Sebastian 2 days of the week. I alternate every other weekend because my parents are divorced … but that’s not always a bad thing “Life is what you make it”. At my dad’s I live on the beach and at my mom’s I live on the river so of course I have a passion for the water, and everything that comes with it. I love being by the water, fishing, camping, hiking and hanging out with my friends.

 I have 4 step siblings on my mom’s side Andrew, Jessica, Emily, and Richard.  I can hardly refer to them as step because they have been like my real brothers and sisters for as long as I can remember, and I can’t imagine it any other way … but I am going to have to because I will be spending my Junior year abroad In South America …oh wait it gets better … oh you want to know how because I am not only going to be In South America but Argentina, yes you read that right I will be spending my year abroad in ARGENTINA!  And I couldn’t be happier. After my exchange I plan to attend college at the University of Miami and or Florida International University where I will major in International Studies and hopefully pursue a career in International Relations.  THANK YOU ROTARY AND RYE FLORIDA FOR THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!
