Traveler Bio

Hello everyone! I’m Kragen Wild, a 20-year-old enthusiast of both the digital landscapes and the rugged outdoors. Raised in New Castle, I've embraced the thrill of snowboarding and skiing every winter. My globetrotting adventures with my family have taken me to nearly every continent, fueling my curiosity and passion for exploring diverse cultures and sceneries.

Back home, I love playing video games, especially building intricate worlds in Minecraft, and watching 80s movies like Jaws. Currently, I'm navigating my way through a dual major in Computer Science and Japanese at the University of Denver. My academic path is gearing up for an exciting twist as I gear up to study abroad in Japan for the next five months.

I'm eagerly anticipating the chance to immerse myself in the rich culture and cutting-edge technology of Japan. I invite you to join me on this incredible journey where I show you the wonders of Japan. Stay tuned for stories of adventure, learning, and discovery that I hope will inspire your own explorations!
