Traveler Bio

Julley (Hello)! My name is Ava, and I am so excited to connect with you! I am 22 years old, and from Westminister, Maryland. I went to college at Washington and Lee University in the Shenandoah Valley, and have always loved hiking in the mountains. In college I studied biology and art history, and have travelled all over for research. During college I went to Italy, Spain, France, and India.

This year I was honored to recieve a US Fulbright-Nehru grant to sudy art conservation of Buddhist temples. I now live in Ladakh, India to complete my research, and I am trilled to be around the Himalayan mountains! I hope you'll join me on this adventure.
