I’ve lived a full life at a young age. Although I spent most of my childhood doing everything that was expected of me, I spent my early twenties exploring the world an expanding my horizons. For university, I studied in the desert at a small school. After I graduated, I worked at a zoo. It had always been my dream to do so, but after a short time I decided to travel. I spent two years living in Australia and traveling to some of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. Staying in hostels with strangers and crashing on couches of people I only knew from the references of acquaintances, I met some incredible people and made some life-long friendships. The people I met along the way came from all walks of life. There was the crazy walker who was walking around the continent, the accountant who vacationed for months at a time with no plan, the biologist who followed the warm weather around the globe. I visited places I had only dreamed about, went to art festivals that I will never forget, and worked jobs that made me realize there is much more to this world than living a mundane existence. I reluctantly returned to home with dreams of my next adventure, and am already on my way to accomplishing those dreams. My travels made me realize that we can do anything we set our mind to, and that there is no point in waiting to accomplish our dreams when we can do so right away.
