Most Memorable Travel Experience
Every place I have has had memorable moments unique to that country - here are a few:

Climbing an unrestored section of the great wall of China

Seeing the most beautiful waterfall of my life on the Yangtze river - China

Swimming in a waterfall and chilling with some Embera indigenous of Panama

Holding a friends hand while she underwent major medical treatment in Hangzhou, China.

Skinny dipping in the Pacific for hours - Panama

Snorkeling in Cuba

Para sailing in Cancun, Mexico

Driving up Pike's peak in Colorado, USA, and feeling wicked altitude sickness - it was so worth it!
Profile
I'm a recent graduate of Queen's University with a degree in biology, so I love to go to places that have entirely different flora and fauna than what I am used too.
Though I haven't traveled too much yet, I am still young and have plenty of time to travel still. I don't have any top destinations, because I want to go EVERYWHERE!!! I just love everything about different cultures, and I think that you need to be a little out of your comfort zone to truly appreciate everything this world has to offer. I love to take risks, go places that are not in the tourist books, and attempt at conversing in languages I don't know. I just love it all - even the long lay overs!
