Well, here you are, my GoFundMe campaign. Long story short: I am raising money to travel to 11 different countries and create virtual reality films while doing so.

By contributing you would be helping to pay for:
- The trip itself
- A 360-degree camera
- A new laptop to edit the films on
- And one or two of my meals :)

For years now, I have made it a habit to leave the United States once per year to study different cultures and explore the world. Due to the pandemic, I could not do something I always wanted to do in college: study abroad.

So I have signed up for Semester at Sea, where I will travel through Europe, Africa, and Asia, to learn about and interact with these countries. Along the way, I plan on creating content to inspire others to travel, including pictures, videos, and virtual reality films.

I truly believe that if more people traveled we as people would have greater global empathy and be able to solve many problems that the world faces today. I have been lucky enough to have this drive to explore, but many others my age have no plans of ever leaving home, so my mission is to change this.

I know that there are many other issues that could use the money more, so by all means please donate to them if you would rather. Use this as a reminder to help out with the causes you truly care about. But, if you would like to donate to me personally, that would be greatly appreciated. 

Also, if you do not have the means at the moment to contribute, the next best way to help out is to send this to someone who you think can contribute.

Thank you for reading this. It means a lot that you took the time out of your busy day. Hope you have an amazing day and continue to spread positivity!
