I grew up in San Pedro, CA and spent the past 7-8 years going to university and living in Santa Barbara, CA. I graduated in 2011 with a degree in sociology from UCSB. I've worked in high-end hotels & restaurants since I was 19. Despite making good money and having fun working the hospitality industry, I love traveling. I've gone on short trips before but I decided it's time for a large scale trip. I've been living in Thailand since October and don't plan on leaving any time soon.
I joined expat.com on 06 January 2014.
