My Empty Passport
I grew up in a small town in Oregon and heading to the coast to clear my mind was typical. When I turned 18, I moved to California for school and realized that it was just the beginning of everything - traveling, love, experience, all of it. A year into college, I got my third tattoo on my ribs. It's a picture of a wave that crashes into the word immensity. Getting out of my small town was amazing, but heading to the beach was my safe place. It was my safe place because I used to look out at the ocean, and think about how immense it was - literally looking out and not being able to see the end of the water.

To Ride A Jet-Powered Broomstick
When I was growing up my mom hated planes. In fact, to this day she wouldn’t even drive me to the airport. We drove everywhere, every family vacation was a road trip kind of vacation. When I was a sophomore in high school my choir class took a trip to Boston, Mass. and rode a bus for 27 hours to get there. I had gotten pretty lucky, in my dated opinion, that the occasion never arose to have to ride in a plane.

One Day
I'll start this off by letting you know, I love animals more than anything on this Earth, and my most ambitious goal is to eventually save an animal species. I recently got accepted into college for a Wildlife and Forestry Conservation degree. This will take a few years but once that is done, I plan on visiting every country available to me to see at least one of their Wildlife Preservation facilities. I know this will be a very expensive and hard feat, but I have never been more excited to plan something in my life. Whether this be a solo trip or a trip I take with my now fiancé is yet to be determined, but the trip will happen.

A Student's Semester In Scotland
The year 2022 will start with me taking a long, solo trip, as that is when I will spend a semester at the Ayr Campus of the University of West of Scotland pursuing the second master’s degree I will be getting. To say that I am looking forward to this trip would be one of the biggest understatements I could make currently. I cannot wait to start my life as an international scholar while also getting the chance to explore the second country on my “To Visit” list, nor can I wait to see the sight that inspired one of my favorite traditional songs, “Loch Lomond” which I once performed during my undergraduate career as part of a tenor/bass choir. The largest draw, however, is the call of my ancestral homeland as a descendant of the Clan Donald who ruled the western islands of Scotland.

I Want to Be a Tourist in Paris
I’ve never been much of a traveler. I understand the desire to see foreign locations and to lay eyes on things you’ve only ever imagined or experienced at the distance of media. That said, I’ve just never had the desire to travel. I don’t like planes, I don’t like being out of my comfort zone, and being a single man in my 40’s, I have no one who could push me to get outside of myself and find joy in the experience of traveling by having someone to share the experience with.
