Traveler Bio

Hey there! I'm Luke Wininger, I'm 22 years old, and I am from Bowling Green, Kentucky. I love spending time on my family's farm, where we hike, fish, and ride four-wheelers. The nearby lake is another favorite spot for water sports with friends. In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights, running, and reading about history and technology. I'm a psychology and marketing student at Western Kentucky University, which means I'm curious about how our minds work and how companies sell their stuff to us.

This fall, I'm traveling to the Central American country of Costa Rica to study international marketing and cultural psychology. For a relatively small country, there's so much to discover in Costa Rica! I can't wait to share my adventures in the capital of San Jose and throughout the country with you, especially my trips to the amazing forests and oceans. Let's explore together!
