I started because of a recommendation from a friend, and this has turned into one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I've met many great people, made interesting friends, and have honestly been saved when in a jam. It's amazing.

I visited a game preserve outside of Cape Town in South Africa that specialized in cheetah conservation. I have always admired the elegance and power of cheetahs, and I was allowed to walk and interact with two that were raised by hand. Getting to spend one-on-one time with an animal that I had admired since childhood was an amazing experience. Another incredible moment was the first time I left North America. I had flown into London on a nighttime flight, and the next morning I woke very early and walked to Westminster Bridge. While the experience itself is not particularly special, it was at that very moment I fully grasped the concept that the world was a massive, massive place with so many cultures that can learn so very much from one another. From that day forward, I have always had a passion for travel.
