Traveler Bio

Hello! My name is Bryn, and I am from Jupiter (not the planet), a sunny town in South Florida known for its beautiful beaches and sea turtles. Growing up, I enjoyed dancing, playing soccer and reading mystery novels. 

For college, I decided to leave the sunshine and travel north, all the way up the East Coast to snowy Maine. That’s where I found Bates College, where I am studying Biochemistry because I like learning about all the little particles inside our bodies that make us who we are. I also take modern dance classes and tutor kids in elementary and middle school. 

Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to go to England and learn about my favorite authors. Now, after two long plane trips, I am here in Bath! Bath is a beautiful city in the United Kingdom with lots of history and culture. I am learning all about witchcraft and detectives from history, while writing my own stories and exploring the city. When I was your age, I started reading Harry Potter, one of my favorite books. Maybe after my witchcraft class, I'll be able to teach you a few spells! I will be here for the rest of the spring semester, traveling and going to school. Nice to meet you, and I can’t wait to tell you all about my travels!
