21 years old and pursuing a Masters degree in Communication. I enjoy studying, culture, rhetoric, relationships, and history. I work for West Texas A&M University in the Office of Student Engagment and Leadersip. Although I am a local student I am an avid traveler; I want to venture to the furthest edges of the world and see things other people only dream of. I love producing video. In my spare time (which is rare), I like reading, napping, netflix, and a small online shopping addiction.

art, and Nail Gaiman (though not always
in that order). I am very thankful for the opportunity to study abroad in Greece and London.

minor in English. I love love
love to write, read, nap, and
eat food. I have traveled to
Uganda, Ireland, and am so
excited for this next
adventure to Athens and
London. My dream is to be
a traveling writer with words and love. I spend my busy time dreaming about when I will have spare time, which I use to hang out with close friends and dream about having a puppy.
Elena Flores
I am pursuing my bachelor's in both visual arts & graphic design, with a minor in music. I am currently learning Mandarin Chinese & I hope to work with a design firm in East Asia following graduation. An avid traveler, I have a passion for seeing the world and meeting new people. In my free time I enjoy reading, shopping, painting, creating music, and hanging out with friends.
Writing a biogrpahy is difficult for me because 1) I don't know what I am (a mature 22 year old or an immature 12 year old who can't take anything serious); 2) How do I know who I am when I don't know where I'm going? What I do know is that I enjoy education in the form of history, learning about everyone who is dead and gone and seeing how their lives affect our lives today. I also enjoy my TV- an avid and passionate fan of The Office. If I were to identify with one character, I would be Dwight. Although I don't know where I'm going in life, I do know that I love to travel. One day I hope to live in Europe doing a job that I love. Until then, I am only dreaming of life in a fancy apartment in Paris, France with my french bulldog named Winston.
Aileen Taylor
My name is Aileen Taylor, and I am constantly seeking to learn more about the world around me, and my hope is to one day use my vision and my voice to impact people around the world. I am a Junior at West Texas A&M where I am studying Broadcast Journalism as well as Public Relations and Advertising. I am a member of Zeta Tau Alpha and the President's Ambassadors on campus. I love reading, writing and photography in my free time. I have a passion for people and the world, and I hope to one day to be able to travel as much as I possibly can.
My name is OluwaTosin, Samson, Ayofe, OluwaDamilare, Abimbola, Oladimeji, Akinwunmi Akinwole. The first of two sons of a Catholic father and a Muslim mother- hence my very firm stance against ANY and all forms of bigotry. I am a graduate student, studying Studio Arts (painting & glass). I have come to find out there are two versions of me; the ever-so-stern, steely, square version that is preconcieved by most based on my appearance (or so i've heard) and there is the spontaneous, very open-minded, adventurous and quite contradictory side that is, in fact, ME.
Random facts:
- I have been cursed by a gypsy that I will live forever and then blessed by the same gypsy that I will NOT live forever... so I suppose i'll find out in a hundred years.
- Do not trust me around your cake... unless its chocolate.

Sean Smith
Sports loving, guitar playing, closet nerd majoring in corporate communication at WTAMU. I am just now realizing how adventurous I am since I spent 18 years of my life in the same house in Houston, Texas. I realize now that traveling is something that I have missed out on my entire life. I have a passion for others and hope to make that a career one day. In my free time I am either being the ultimate introvert by locking myself in my room or doing something active with my friends.
Garrett Brewer

My newest passion right now is traveling around the world. My hope is to see as many countries as possible.
Favorite quotes:
“I’d rather look back at my life and say 'I can’t believe I did that' instead of saying 'I wish I did that.'”
“We’re almost there, & nowhere near it. All that matters is that we’re going. 'In Omnia PAPATUS.' Ready for Anything.” Lorelai & Rory
My name is Garrett Brewer and I am a senior Art History major. I have always loved the arts and always have loved basketball. Those loves have led me to the desire of being an art teacher and basketball coach. I graduate in May of 2016 and am looking forward to the new journey at hand
I have never traveled overseas and have never experienced an ocean so this trip should be invigorating and shocking at the same time. I cannot wait for this experience.
