WHY DO I TRAVEL?Going to new countries is the best thing that you can do for yourself. Over the last two years, I have traveled to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and I just got back from a trip to Costa Rica over spring break 2017!
I am a senior majoring in mechanical engineering with a technology and management minor at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Yes it has been difficult to balance my heavy course load with traveling, but I have been able to advantage of all the resources that my university offered to travel the world. |
MY LATEST ADVENTURE
Costa Rica
I went to Costa Rica for a cultural immersion class on March 17th-27th 2017. I wrote about my experience for every day of the trip, so you can check out my blog in the "Costa Rica Blog" tab at the top of the page. I also made a video about it which you can view below.

Hong Kong and Thailand
I went to Hong Kong for an international business plan competition from December 31-January 11th 2017. I had a blast interacting with people from four different countries. My team and I were able to take home 3rd place in the competition this year!

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
