Hi, I'm Crystal. I'm a "20-something" trying to figure out life through traveling. I had my first taste of traveling when I was 16 on lone trip to France to meet with a friend/penpal. I have then desired to be abroad and/or to travel each year. I believe the people you meet and the experiences you get from these travels are necessary in carving out the world citizen you can be.

I'm really into flying and could spend hours of my day at an airport watching planes fly in and take off. I hope to enhance this further by learning how to fly! I also enjoy anything outdoors or that involves nature. I'm from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia so I love to hike!
