ABOUT ME

I am currently a develop engineer for an orthopedic company in northern Indiana who is always looking for new experiences. I studied abroad in Spain when I was going to school and have been looking for more ways to get out and travel ever since. Some off my past travel experiences include many places in the states such as Georgia, Virginia, Colorado, Wyoming, California, Oregon, Washington, most countries in western Europe, and most recently Brazil. I really enjoy meeting other people who share the passion for traveling and having the opportunity to share experiences with them.
