Born and raised in Central New York, I first fell in love with traveling at a young age. As all NY families do, I would spend my vacations in Florida (or as New Yorkers would say “Floda”). During my repeated trips to “Floda” we would travel between Jacksonville, Daytona, Orlando, and of course Disney World. But as I got older I started to think “There has to be more places in the World than Florida?”. Then I joined the service and within my first year I found myself in Okinawa, Japan. I was hooked! Seeing and visiting a completely different culture, was amazing to me and over the last 10 years I’ve traveled to 31 countries and made it my mission to see the world and experience as many cultures and places as I can.
