My name is Jeremy. I am a 24 year old Chemical Engineer and graduate student finishing up my Masters Degree. Somewhere amongst the 60 hours a week of doing research and acting as a teaching assistant, I came up with the idea to take a RTW trip that expanded from a few month journey from Beijing to Bali to a year long world wide trip that may cover most of Asia and South America. In previous trips, I have explored Europe, the Middle East, and North America and felt it was time to check out the rest of the world and see the wonders that it holds. My itinerary? Well, I have a plan for that, but I have been known to change my mind on a whim so it can be considered loose at best - hit the rest of the seven wonders of the world and I will be content.
In some of my favorite previous travels, I have explored the ancient city of Petra, went paragliding off a mountain, and rode a camel in the Sahara. I speak tourist ready French, Arabic, and Spanish - which is hardly ever needed since everyone apparently speaks English. My goal is to see the wonders of the world, scuba dive in the worlds best spots, as well as feel, eat, and experience everything the world has to offer.
Aside from traveling like mad, I am honing my skills as a photographer and travel writer maintaining blogs for each at the following sites:
Living the Dream - Following the planning and execution of my RTW trip and other travel stories along the way.
Living the Dream Photography - A photolog of my favorite photos from around the world.
Daily Travelogues - As a summary of my journeys, I maintain a daily travelogue that contains more details of what I did on a daily basis while traveling.
Photography and Art Store - A collection of my favorite photographs for sale in a variety of mediums. Anything from Living the Dream Photography is available for purchase, let me know what you want and i'll put it up!
My camera arsenal is pretty vast, and I am known to take an excessive amount of photos and videos as a result. I am likely to be carrying my Nikon D80, P4 (now sadly defunct), Flip UltraHD, and Olympus 1030 SW anywhere I go to get the best shot for my collection. All photos displayed on my sites are taken by myself and myself alone. No stock photos here!
To me, life is an adventure, and I intend to explore the heck out of it doing anything and everything that comes my way. So watch out for my next adventure be it hiking the Great Wall, diving with sharks in the Galapagos, or hangliding off the mountains in Rio. But don't just read about it from me! Use my experiences as a guide and get out there and Live the Dream!
