Travel Advisor

Scotland

My love for travel began early. As a kid, I spent summers riding shotgun in my dad’s semi-truck, crisscrossing the country and soaking in the sights of the United States—long before I ever stepped into a high school classroom. My mom, equally passionate about life’s bigger picture, worked tirelessly to make global experiences possible. At 13, I traveled with our youth group to Australia, then spent that same summer working at a camp in Alaska. Those early experiences sparked something lasting in me: a hunger for adventure, and a heart for service.In high school, I traveled to Mexico and Guatemala to help build schools—real, hands-on experiences that shaped my belief in the power of human connection across cultures. That belief has never faded.Today, I work full-time as a firefighter and paramedic—a career built on helping others. But travel remains my passion and my purpose. In recent years, I’ve explored the vibrant cultures of Mexico, the wild beauty of New Zealand, the deep history of Scotland, and the quiet grace of Japan. And the journey is far from over. My upcoming adventures include returning to Mexico, exploring the serene landscapes of Bali, and fulfilling a lifelong dream—setting foot on the icy continent of Antarctica.In a world where travel is constantly evolving, I aim to be more than just a tourist—I want to be a connector. My goal is to inspire, guide, and empower others to seek out the stories that await them beyond their comfort zones. Travel has the power to transform. It opens minds, heals hearts, and reminds us of the vast, shared humanity we’re all a part of. Let’s chase that feeling—and find your next unforgettable experience.
