Hello everyone! My name is Audrey, and I am so excited that you’ll be joining my journey around the world. Traveling has become one of my favorite hobbies, but I also love watching movies, hiking, and cooking. I am a junior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where I am studying political science. I grew up in Knoxville, TN and before studying abroad, I had never left the southern United States! This is one reason I was so excited to make my dream of traveling a reality.
In January 2020, I boarded a ship in California that was to become my home for the next few months. We crossed the Pacific and Indian oceans, visiting Hawaii, Japan, Vietnam, Mauritius, and South Africa. Learning more about the world was the coolest thing ever, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
