Kaley Missert and Conor Furlong
My name is Kaley Missert and I am studying Public Relations with a minor in music! I love traveling and hope to one day see all 7 continents. Being able to see and experience new cultures and areas of the world first hand is such an immersive learning experience that is immeasurable to anything you could learn in the class room.
My name is Conor Furlong and I am a double major in English and writing and rhetoric. I've always enjoyed traveling no matter where I go, and hope I continue to pursue it. Traveling to unfamiliar places has the potential to expand horizons while providing enjoyable experiences that should encourage others to do the same.
Here you can find some great ways to make traveling as smooth as possible. With the use of social media, sharing one-another's travel experiences and tips is easier than ever, and this video is a great example.
Everyone has wanderlust to a degree, but often can't afford to pursue it. Watch the video above and find out how, you too, can be a globetrotter in no time.
