Description
Hi! My name is Lucas (20 years old), and I love to explore!!
I love exploring the nature around me: the feeling of seeing whats on the on the other side of the ridge or what salamanders lie under the rock at my feet. I love to explore the lives and cultures of those around me, and my goal in traveling is to truly understand the people of the world and their experiences. I love to listen, to hear stories, and my dream is to walk the world in as many shoes as I can. I also love to explore the world of academia. Similar to the feeling of cresting the nearby hill, I chase the feeling of turning the next page in a book, and I love discussing philosophy and world events.
In the past year, I have traveled to Switzerland, Czech Republic, Cuba, Hawaii, Hungary, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and more. I just finished up my first year at Stanford where I am studying economics and sustainability, and I'm looking to have another taste of exploration in my three months off!

What else ...
I love music! I listen a lot of classic bands like America, the Eagles, and Grateful Dead, as well as artists like Bob Dylan. I play pretty beginner guitar, but still have a great time playing and signing along with friends! I also love solo traveling and have backpacked through Switzerland, Cuba, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Hawaii, and Hungary. (hopefully many more to come!) I also adore working with kids and animals.
