Hello!

I'm Jacob, a former high school teacher living in Raleigh, NC. I graduated from Clemson University in SC in 2021 and I taught Economics, Psychology, and Government in Mission Texas (border town).

I love travel, and I love meeting people from different walks of life. I know that sounds cliche, but to me, travel is meaningless if you don’t leave with new friends.

I used to be the type to stay out until sunrise, but I’ll admit a bit more subdued nowadays. I don’t drink or party a ton, but I’m always down to go out and explore!
