I am 33 years old and am from Chicagoland area, Illinois, USA. I am a firefighter/paramedic. I as of 3 years ago had never left the USA. The past three years do to a sparked interest and a better economic state for myself have been traveling as often as I can. 2 years ago, I did the Camino de Santiago in Spain and visited Ireland. Since then I have fallen in love with travel and many countries. I'd like to meet people of the countries I visit and truly feel the culture of the areas I visit.
