Hey, I'm Tommy, and I love to travel. Whether it's with friends or alone, I believe that experiencing other cultures and seeing new places is the most exciting and easiest way to expand one's paradigms and to see the world in a different way. My travel resumé includes all 50 states, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, England, South Africa, Thailand, and Laos. Sometimes I'm physically limited by the fact that I'm part cyborg (I have a titanium rod in my leg), but it usually doesn't affect me. Utah is my favorite state, while my current favorite international destination is Thailand/Laos; the Siam region is my favorite travel destination so far, because the culture shift from Southern Georgia to Southwestern Asia was very enlightening, and the people in that region were incredibly friendly. I believe that everyone that is physically or financially capable should travel out of the country before they're 25 so that they can experience different cultures and experiences while his/her brain and thought-patterns are still developing. I intend on traveling for however long I physically and financially can. As of now, I want my next trip to be to India, British Columbia, or New Zealand, but I would settle for pretty much anywhere.
