Traveling gives me purpose, excitement, and inspiration. I love immersing myself into different cultures, environments, and ways of thinking. My love for travel began in 10th grade when Summer Searchsponsored me on a 21-day backpacking trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. This trip forced me out of my comfort zone (quite literally since I didn't even know what backpacking was) and challenged me to appreciate the intricacies of life. I live with the motto that time will never slow down and that it is up to us to make the most of our time in this vast world. + Follow my travel explorations
