Well I tell everybody a little about me, I'm a 20 yr old college student at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. And I used to play volleyball there...meaning I am a huge sports fan. That's as far as im gonna go right now, feel free to try to get to know me anytime, im a pretty open sorta person.

So, I've been looking around on here for 2 weeks or so and just trying to find my way around. Eveyone seems pretty friendly and willing to help so that is pretty sweet.

My travels have been pretty limited so far mostly within the US, and that is limited primarly to the midwest and some coastal and southern states. With the exception of a 2 week stay in Brazil a few years back, which was amazing.

There are so many places I want to go, but I do plan on a trip to Mexico to backpack the Riviera Maya this summer thinking maybe July. I want to stay from 2 weeks to maybe a month, not positive yet.

Hopefully we'll talk more later
