I am an entrepreneur in my early 20s trying to make it by selling mosquito netting for residential and commercial use. I like to travel whenever I can afford to and try to get out of the U.S. every other year. My favorite places are Ban Tha Song Yang, Thailand, and Central/Eastern Europe, particularly Poland, Hungary, and Latvia. I worked for a Tanzanian travel company and climbed Kilimanjaro, but haven't traveled to any other African countries. I would love to journey in the Middle East/Arab World (Iran, in particular) but am sad that the political situation makes it impossible. I wish I had been born 50 years earlier, in this respect.

I prefer to travel with a companion and do not particularly love traveling on my own because I have an weird issue of not being able to enjoy traveling unless I can reminisce about it later, though some of my favorite experiences during travel have been when I am alone and no one knows where I am. My favorite aspect of traveling is leaving the hostel/tent/home, etc and walking or biking for hours with only water and a map until I get to the point where I only have enough energy for the journey back.
