Traveler Bio

Hi there! My name is Trip Wright, and I'm so excited to share my upcoming adventures with you to Buenos Aires, Argentina, Barcelona, Spain, and Cape Town, South Africa! 

My home is Cincinnati, Ohio, a big city in the southwest corner of the state. Some of my favorite things to do at home include going on long bike rides, reading books, playing with my dog Henley, and taking photos of all the wonderful places I visit.

I'm currently a junior studying sociology. You might be wondering why I decided to travel around the world. In my studies, I became interested in learning about different cultures and how people from different countries experience life differently from myself. 

Once I graduate, I hope to work in urban planning, which is designing how cities should be built and laid out to make them awesome places for people to live. I hope to design fantastic cities one day for everyone to enjoy. So, I'm off on exciting adventures to embrace new cultures, take lots of pictures (which will be shared!), speak a new language, try different foods, and make lifelong friends! I can't wait to bring you all along on this adventure!
