Cultural Experience
From September of 2015 until September of 2019 I had the great privilege of visiting over twenty countries. I spent this time backpacking and traveling on a shoe string budget. My travels brought me all over Central America, Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia. I worked odd jobs and volunteered at hostels but mostly just took it all in. These were very formative experiences and really opened my eyes to the workings of other systems and cultures.
