My most memorable travel experience would have to be my first. I was barely 18, and my buddy and I decided to fly into Vancouver, Canada for some underage bar hopping. We worked at the airline at the time so the flight was free, but we got there really late and the security line was long. So being very naïve we decided to bypass security with our airport ID’s and board the plane. So before even getting to our destination we broke who knows how many federal security laws! Once we finally got to Vancouver my buddy and I were confronted by customs for either a birth certificate or passport of which we had none. After some smooth talking by yours truly the customs agent finally let us into Canada. I got to admit the rest of the trip was kind of a blur, but I do remember trying to dance with a girl in a cast, and my buddy ordering the most foo foo drink I have ever laid my eyes upon (complete with an umbrella and sliced fruit!) in all places, a working class Irish pub. Looking back, I can’t help but laugh about how green of a traveler I was.

If I had to describe myself I would say I can be a little stubborn at times, and quick to instigate a debate. I tend to be very curious, and always willing to try something new. I can't stand a regular routine, and find myself constantly pulled to new ventures before I’ve completed my old ones. I’ve always been comfortable with wingin’ it, and I’m somewhat of a procrastinator, but with that all said I very much driven. I believe in setting goals, and making sure I reach them.
