Most Memorable Travel Experience
Well my best experience has to be my first trip overseas. One summer during my high school years, I went and stayed with a host family in the south of France for three weeks. Then I took a trip from Aix en Provence up to Paris for a week with a bunch of other kids from all over the USA. I had a blast and since then, I've done whatever I could to travl the world. Here are some other memorable experiences I've had...
- Flown all the way around the world twice
- Fed a Kangaroo in Australia (and also ate one..I don't recommend it!)
- New Years Eve in New York City
- Participated in free medical clinics for villagers in Kenya
- Explored a cave in France
- Eaten a Belgian waffle in Belgium
- Been asked what part of Ireland (or The Netherlands) I was from (even though I'm American!)
- Been on a safari in Africa
- Car accident in England
- Eaten some "interesting" flavored ice cream in Singapore.. thanks Florianne!!
- Been to Bangladesh.. that in itself is an experience never to be forgotten!!

Profile
I'm 27 and live in Northern Virginia. I've had an interesting life so far... Outside of the States, I've lived in the UK, Spain and Australia doing volunteer work. Now I'm back home and doing the whole "being an adult" thing! I just recently got a job working for Virgin America (based at IAD) so I am pretty stoked because I finally have my door in the airline industry. My goal is to work corporate side for an airline one day and this is such an awesome opportunity!! I love travelling (obviously!!) and meeting new people. So... if you are ever in my part of the world, then hit me up and I'd be happy to show you around. You can find me on Facebook (Ian Lordi), Skype (Ian.Lordi) or AIM (Aussieusa82). Peace out from the USA!!!
