World Traveler
I started traveling as a young, adventurous member of the People to People Student Ambassador program. Since then I traveled to Europe, once as an exchange student, studied abroad in China, and taught English in South Korea and Hungary. I believe travel is an essential part of the human experience.
I seek to understand the world as the people who live in each place do. In some places this is easier than others, but in every place there is something to be learned.
