My love for travel budded when I traveled around the country almost every weekend on my competitive soccer team growing up. As a young pre-teen/teen, I had played soccer in almost every state on the east and west coast.

  The love translated when I became President of my High School Exchange Club. I planned 4-day exchanges with schools in California and Michigan. Attending a High School in a different state for a few days gave me my first taste at how differently people live.

      In college, while most of my classmates studied abroad in Europe or Australia, I chose to study in Singapore. I immediately fell in love with Asian culture. During my semester in Singapore, I planned 14 of my own trips. I created detailed itineraries for each trip to maximize my 4 day weekends in each location. Many of the trips I took solo. 

Once I realized how much I loved Solo Backpacking after studying abroad I started going on my own trips whenever I find a good flight deal and have time off from my very busy life. After graduating in May, I spent a month backpacking through Europe the majority of the time alone. Additionally, I create travel itineraries for my friends and family.
