Traveler Bio

Dobry Den! (Hello)! My name is Peyton Byrd. I am a 24-year-old Tennessean. My childhood in Tennesse was spent barefoot listening to guitar strings and slow songs, drinking sweet iced tea while discussing the importance of a good casserole. In college, I ventured away from home and attended the University of North Alabama to study art with a concentraton in photography. For a study abroad class, I took a course on street photography and realized my love for capturing new and different cultures. Longing to explore this new love and establish more cultural understanding through my lens, I applied for and was fortunate enough to recieve a U.S. Fulbright Program grant to teach English and photography in Hronov, Czech Republic. Currently, I am living in Hronov, Czech Republic working at a technical secondary school as an assistant teacher. I am very excited to share my journeys with all of you and can't wait to hear about your own adventures this year!
