Hey I'm Meg! I caught the travel bug at 19 and haven't been able to stop. While I do work full time now, my job allows me a lot of freedom for wonderful adventures around the world. I am extroverted, organized and love to capture my experiences through video & photography.

It was very helpful to learn more about the world packer processes, and great ideas for how to make my profile better and look for the right opportunities for me. It was reassuring because I had applied to some and have been selective and focusing on finding a good fit for me on the first leg of my world packers journey- on that I can apply the skills I have and meet other travelers while being helpful to the host and local community, rather than focusing on just a particular location in the world. I am really hoping to do this for a long time (several years at least) so I want to do it right
