I am a student from the Midwest United States. I am a photographer, a writer, and most recently, a filmmaker. I run a blog called ISTUMBL, which I use to inspire other students in the Midwest to travel. Where I'm from, people don't really travel that much. Travel is my passion. So I try to encourage/educate others who might not think traveling is affordable. I'm an avid reader and a big fan of hiking and camping! I've been to half a dozen National Parks so far, and I'm excited to add more to the list!
