My name is Kelly Gorman. I'm 24, Philadelphia born and raised and I love a big city. I graduated from Temple University studying Risk Management and Insurance. It was not the career path for me; I needed a major and knew I'd get a job. Put it this way, I only lasted 3 months in an office! I truly enjoy music and checking out live shows. Good eats are always prioritized in my travels ;). I have worked in the hospitality industry for the last 7 years, and I've got quite the bubbly personality. I am eager to see the world and learn. My plans are ever changing but here's what I've got in mind...

Currently in: Malaysia
Next stop(s): Australia, New Zealand, and then the big Eurotrip (hopefully!)
