Here's a map of Hurley's volleyball travels. explained how she became a professional athlete after playing both basketball and volleyball at the University of Hawaii-Hilo.  "It all started by jumping on a plane to Sweden," Hurley said And that's where her story across the globe begins Hurley said her first experience playing pro volleyball in 2013 was fun and relaxed a town near the peninsular southern tip of Sweden She remembers the fans being warm and friendly "It was a great introduction because the level is good but it's not super competitive," Hurley said We only practiced maybe five days and had a lot of time off so I would go into the city of Malmo and explore with another American on the team."   The intensity level grew during her second year with Svedala Volley when a tall Australian named Luke Reynolds became her head coach "We were trying to be a little bit more professional so we got more intensive," Hurley said "He changed things for us and that was a bit more fun because I got to be more competitive Than I realized that this game could take me to different countries I could go up in levels and different leagues (by) pushing myself." She described her time in Finland as one of the roughest periods of her career.  a village in the central part of the country with fewer than 3,000 people where it was cold She said the source of her depression came from not getting enough sunlight "I was there for 10 months and for nine months I lived in darkness and snow," Hurley said "The people were awesome but it was such a small secluded place and I struggled with depression What the country did offer was an upgrade in pay and competition Hurley fought her depression by competing harder in games and practices "The volleyball court was my outlet and so I thrived and really pushed myself," Hurley said "I was so successful there because volleyball was my escape I could give it everything I had for three hours Hurley came back to Finland after playing in Puerto Rico and Switzerland in 2014 and 2015 The experience she had in the Nordic region taught her how to overcome adversity at the professional level "You have to struggle sometimes to get the payoff like living on a beach for three months," Hurley said.  Idyllic beaches and world-class chocolate awaited Hurley after experiencing the harsh Nordic winters after signing a three-month contract with Indias de Mayagüez "I met some great girls and lived on the beach for three months which was nice," Hurley said At each stop the competition level progressed and games became more intense "The funny thing is my friends and family will ask if I just travel everywhere," Hurley said "The first year was more like fun and games Every year since then I'm in the gym twice a day training two or three hours and you do that every day try to rest and then try to do it all over again." Hurley's adventures didn't stop even as the competition level progressed in Switzerland.  "The chocolate was just fabulous and I lived in this beautiful old European town called Neuchatel," Hurley said "It's got this beautiful lake and beautiful castle Word of Hurley's skill and athleticism reached Asia in 2016 while playing for Hämeenlinnan Lentopallokerho "The team actually flew to one of my games in Finland and watched me because they were wanting to replace the player they had," Hurley said "They liked me so much that the team bought out my contract so I could leave." She played in South Korea for Gimcheon Korea Expressway Hi-Pass for four months which was packed with 6,000 fans nearly every match "The culture and energy there is insane because it was so lively," Hurley said "The way we trained and lived was very disciplined The whole team and staff basically lived in a compound Hurley and her teammates ate and trained at the same facility every day.  "I had to ask permission to leave because it was very structured but I loved it because I got so much better," Hurley said "We would train three hours in the morning but I got so much better and I think that was a turning point career wise."  The excitement for Hurley grew even more when she joined the Petron Blaze Spikers of Manila in 2017 Hurley said the Philippines has the best fans and atmosphere in all the places she's competed "The diehard love the Filipino fans have for volleyball is unreal," Hurley said "To this day the fans will wish me happy birthday, congratulations and message my family and practices were more loose than when she was in South Korea the volleyball fans of Manila would be waiting at the arena Hurley's time in the Philippines as a player was memorable She was named a top receiver of the Philippine Grand Prix in 2017 "The fans would just be waiting for you at the door," Hurley said "They would make you little gifts and presents and would have you sign stuff That was the closest I've been to feeling famous."  Hurley said goodbye to the Filipino fans in 2018 to compete for Volley Soverato in the southern Italian province of Catanzaro She made more bonds and continued to grow as a player "Italy was the total package for me because it's a volleyball country and the people have a passion for it," Hurley said "I had a great coach who pushed me and helped me develop and get better The team was amazing and that was a team where we felt like family together Hurley joined Energa MKS Kalisz in Poland so she could be closer with Reynolds Reynolds was coaching a men's team and the two were a three-hour drive from each other.  While Hurley lived in Poland close to her husband there was a cultural side effect which she said made games difficult Now she's headed to Germany and wants to grow in the sport that's taken her across the globe Hurley wants her story of travels and adventures to inspire the next generation of Redding athletes and volleyball players.  Read more: Bear Down!
