Traveler Bio

G'day everyone! I'm Gabriel Adams, but you can just call me Gabe. Hailing from the sun-drenched lands of Arizona, I've spent two decades soaking up the desert heat and immersing myself in the unique beauty of the Southwest. From childhood days spent hiking and camping amidst towering cacti to navigating the bustling streets of Phoenix on my trusty bike, I've always had a deep love for exploration and discovery.

Now, as a student of electrical engineering at Arizona State University, I find myself drawn not only to the intricacies of circuits and currents but also to the broader horizons beyond the bounds of my chosen field. That's why I've embarked on a twelve-week journey abroad, trading the familiar landscapes of home for the bustling streets of Sydney, Australia, and the charming cityscape of Copenhagen, Denmark.

In these vibrant international hubs, I hope to broaden my perspective and delve into realms beyond the world of engineering. Business, sustainability, the humanities—these are just a few of the subjects I aim to explore during my time abroad. It's a chance to step outside my comfort zone, embrace new cultures, and challenge myself in ways I never thought possible.

So as I embark on this exciting adventure, I can't wait to share my experiences with all of you and to hear about the incredible journeys you're all on as well. Here's to new horizons and endless possibilities! Cheers!
