Hello, I am Ryan Roebuck. Ever since I was a kid, my family has made it a priority to travel every year. This has made me a part of who I am because I have gotten the chance to see so many new and unique things that I wouldn't see if I were to stay home. My favorite vacation I have taken was to the Galápagos Islands. While in the Galápagos Islands, my family and I went hiking, swimming with turtles, and got to see the famous blue-footed boobies. Seeing different landscapes and wildlife that I wouldn't normally get the chance to see made me fall in love with traveling. Since visiting the Galápagos Islands as a little kid, I have visited many other places, such as Spain, Mexico, Montana, and California. In Montana, I got to experience my first “white Christmas". This was an amazing vacation, and I got to ski for the first time; however, I realized I don't want to have another “white Christmas”. Traveling continues to impact my life as I am hopefully going abroad this summer to Europe to study Finance. Without these experiences of traveling the world, I would not be the person I am today.
