Travel

One of my passions is traveling! Below is a short overview of some places that I have been both personally and professionally.

Ghana, Africa - volunteer trip

Traveled to a remote town in central Ghana where we spent a few weeks volunteering at Liberty Home Orphanage (20 children) and Liberty School (180 children). Learning about Ghanaian culture and their needs was a moving experience. Quite possibly one of the poorest places in the world with many needs, we learned a great deal on this trip and met some wonderful people, and hope that we were able to make some positive impact as well.

Vietnam

I traveled to Vietnam as part of the competitive E-Scholars program to conduct meetings with international business owners. For example, I met with with plastic injection molding factory managers for product production. I visited Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Na Trang. We also learned about Vietnamese culture and how to conduct international business.

Study abroad - SalZburg, austria and greater europe

For two months in college I attended school and traveled around Europe, learning about the various cultures and charm Europe has to offer. The summer school portion of the trip was through University of Portland School of Engineering.

Some of the places we visited include: Salzburg and Vienna, Austria; Venice, Italy; Budapest, Hungary; Slovakia; Paris, France; Munich, Germany; Prague, Czech Republic; Belgium; Netherlands; Switzerland; London, England.
