I am very passionate about traveling. But... I have never been outside of the United States, except for Mexico. I want to explore the world and all it has to offer. I want to see how other people live and how it might be different from how we live. I want to learn from others, gain the knowledge and experience of seeing life from every corner of the world and the many different groups of people that inhabit this world in which we live. My goals: I want to backpack through Europe and I want to complete the family tree books my Grandpa started and has traced back to Italy.
