My Travel Story

I am a young adult living with Asperger Syndrome, a high functioning type of Autism Spectrum disability. I feel as though traveling and working abroad would benefit me in myriad ways. Growing up, I did travel some with my family, but I did not usually contribute much to the travel process in terms of decision making and logistics. I've traveled a little bit on my own since finishing high school, and I found it to be quite enjoyable. I have enjoyed independent travel, and would like to have the chance to further my independent travel experience.

I've also picked up writing and photography as hobbies, both of which I find to be great outlets for the words and feelings I sometimes struggle to express. I intend to document my experience on an online blog, complete with photographs of my activities, and eventually would like to write a book offering travel advice to teenagers and young adults who like myself, struggle with Autism Spectrum and related disabilities. Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little bit about me and my goals!
