Who am i?

Travel is a passion that I stumbled upon, something I would have never imaged myself doing, let alone enjoying. My first trip, to the Emerald Isle – Ireland, opened my eyes to all the possibilities that I would find in other countries: historical viewpoints, cultural differences, personal and cultural priorities, and so much more. Since then, I have traveled as often as I can and have truly found a never-ending passion for it. I have grown in ways I would have never imagined and found my perspective and views changing after each trip, perspectives and views that I want to share with others.

What I have found from my travels, or more accurately what I have heard upon my return home, is people constantly saying the same thing. “I wish I could travel there”, “I wish I had the time to visit (insert location).”, “I wish I had the financial capability to travel more.”, “I wish I had traveled more when I was younger.”, “You are so lucky to have been able to see (insert country, city, landmark).”, or “I wish I was able to travel.” These comments always make me think that for most people, traveling is something they truly want to do. However, due to financial priorities, family status, age, capability, and dozens of other reasons, not everybody is able to travel. This is when I finally saw, and decided, that I could help others see the world.

In my opinion, in today’s day and age and despite the capabilities that the World Wide Web gives us, it seems people are becoming more isolated, views of their fellow humans and other cultures slanted. As a student of history, a lover of knowledge and dedicated to learning everything I can, traveling has given me the capability to try and avoid the isolation and expand myself. Visiting other places, experiencing other cultures and meeting people from around the world has made me rethink pre-conceived notions I might have had, my priorities and what is truly important in my life. We all live on the same planet, we have the same basic needs and wants, and the vast majority of us just want to be happy and content. Luckily for me, I have found a couple of things that make me happy and content: traveling, rock climbing, adrenaline related activities and reading a good book, just to name a few.

This blog, my photography and my videos are how I want to share my experiences and my adventures. I want to travel the world and I want others to be able to experience the world with me.

Come on these adventures with me. Let me show you what the world can offer and let me help you prepare for your own future adventures!
