RICHMOND, Ky. – Over the spring and summer, we will be profiling members of the Eastern Kentucky soccer team. Next up: junior Jordan Foster.
 
Jordan, a criminal justice major from Fairborn, Ohio, has traveled all over the world with her family.

Jordan Foster: My family and I travel a lot, and usually when we travel, we go out of the country.
 
EKUSports: Cool! Where have you been?
 
JF: We've been to Belize, Honduras and all through Central America. The Bahamas, Mexico …
 
ES: Which one was your favorite?
 
JF: My favorites were Honduras and Belize. We went to those places on a cruise. You were supposed to stay with the cruise group when you got off the boat, but my dad and I like to be adventurous, so we went with these random locals and they took us into the middle of this jungle and we went ziplining. We were really high up, and some of the local kids would go without straps! And they let me go upside down and without straps. My dad was mad.
 
ES: What do you mean by upside down?
 
JF: I was hanging and my head was down and I couldn't strap in. My dad went first, so he didn't know I was doing it.
 
ES: But you were in a seat?
 
JF: The guide was sitting in the seat; but I had to wrap around the guide.
 
ES: So you were wrapped around a guide, no straps, looking down, high up in the trees in a jungle in Belize?
 
JF: Exactly. Haha.
 
ES: And your dad was mad…
 
JF: Yeah, we had him go first because he was not going to let me do it. When I got down to him he was screaming, because we were super high up.
 
ES: Were you scared?
 
JF: Oh yeah.
 
ES: But it was kind of fun at the same time?
 
JF: Yeah, but my parents were not happy.
 
ES: Do you and your dad have any other sort of stories where you went off on your own and…
 
JF: We were in Jamaica and we went over a waterfall in a raft.
 
ES: You went over a waterfall??
 
JF: Yeah.
 
ES: In a raft??
 
JF: Yeah.
 
ES: You Fosters are really adventurous. How often do you all go on trips?
 
JF: We go about once a year. We used to be able to go a lot more when I was a kid because I could miss school.
 
ES: You could miss school??
 
JF: Yeah, it was a private school.
 
ES: Do you have a trip planned for this year?
 
JF: My mom is actually planning it right now. She loves anything tropical, so we're going to go somewhere sunny.
 
ES: What countries haven't you been to? Is there one you really want to go to?
 
JF: My dad really wants to go to Australia.
 
ES: That would be awesome.
 
JF: Yeah, that's what I hope we do next; but we'll see.
