I grew up in a small ski-resort mountain town in Colorado so I think it really throws people for a loop when they hear about my “crazy” adventure trekking around the world for a little less than a year, with no set agenda and one small backpack. Maybe I am crazy, but if that’s the case, then I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful craziness. Anyway, enough of my banter, here are a few things you may not know about me:

  1. I graduated with a degree in business finance however I find finance horribly boring most of the time
  2. I know how to fly a hot air balloon
  3. The texture of bananas freak me out however trying new foods such as blood clots, duck tongue and bone marrow in foreign countries doesn’t faze me
  4. I definitely have arachnophobia
  5. I love playing sports and being active and I’m hoping to get yoga certified on this ’round the world journey
  6. I’m a germaphobe when it comes to my sheets and pillows
  7. I am a true shoe-a-holic
  8. I believe that ice cream should be included in breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  9. I lived in Mexico for the summer of 2002
  10. My family and friends mean the world to me
Quite the contrary to Amy, I had a very city-eque childhood. I grew up right outside Washington, D.C. However, after high school, I had the urge to try something new, so I decided to go to Colorado State University. To this day I think it was one of the best decisions of my life. Now, six years later, I want to do something different again, so a 7-month trip around the world it is! In case that wasn’t enough, here are some random things about me:

  1. The decision to go to boarding school was 100% mine and 0% my parents
  2. I have a obsession with technology, gadgets, new media, etc (ok, you probably knew that one…)
  3. Despite that I thrive on eating strange and bizarre foods, I shiver at the thought of eating mayonnaise
  4. I’ve broken my left wrist twice and my right wrist once
  5. I haven’t read a fiction book since high school
  6. I honestly believe that I now know more about Round the World plane tickets than anyone else on this planet
