My awesome friend (and former neighbor) is hosting and she introduced me to the concept so I thought I'd give it a try. I haven't regretted the decision!

Five amazing travel memories: Biked through Denmark totally broke, camping illegally and living on tinned ravioli. Back-packed through Thailand, island-hopping and diving in the clear waters. Traveled from Kampala to Dar es Salaam by local bus, boat over Lake Victoria and train through the plains. Climbed Mount Cameroon (4095 m) through cloud forests all the way up to steaming volcanic craters. Celebrated midsummer in a desolate farm house in north Iceland with a group of friends with nothing but mountains, horses and eternal sun surrounding us. Spent a weekend alone in Minneapolis, which ended up being extraordinarily social, getting invites to backyard barbecues, art gallery openings, and a vespa-sightseeing.
