Traveler Bio

Hello! I'm Tyler Mlenar and I'm born and raised in Rochester, Minnesota. Being raised in Minnesota, I spent a lot of time going to one of the many lakes Minnesota has. Did you know Minnesota has over 10,000 lakes? That's the most of any state in the country!

I moved from Rochester in order to study computer science at the University of Minnesota. I'm very interested in how computers, networks, and cybersecurity help keep people and information safe. This semester in Prague I'm learning technology, but in a new enviroment. I will be exploring Praugue and many other parts of Europe, and I'm looking forward to sharing those experiences with all of you!
