I'm a 21 year old college student, studying biochem and psychology. I'm going to school because I've found that these topics actually interest me, not because I'm interested in living the stereotypical American lifestyle.
I'm fairly well traveled, albeit only on the east coast and some of the South. However, I've realized that driving/flying to your destination and paying for a hotel is a terrible way to see the country and meet people.
This year, I plan on doing a shitload of hitching/hopping/squatting/couchsurfing/etc. in order to better experience life. Hope to see some of you out there!
