Andrew Harrison

Student At: Brigham Young University

My name is Andrew Harrison. I am 23 years old and am majoring in Travel and Tourism because I have an addiction to travel. I lived overseas for 15 years and feel more at home outside the US than I do in it. Since I was 5 years old I have been traveling, staying in one country continuously for more than a year only once in 18 years. I love meeting new people and seeing new places and hope to do it for the rest of my life.

My Ideal Destination: Traveling is my passion, so I have a number of traveling dreams. If I had to fantasize about one, I would choose a yacht on the Mediterranean Sea. I would start in Spain making my way along the southern coast of Europe and around Turkey and Israel and then along the northern coast of Africa. I have always wanted to visit all of these countries but have never had the opportunity. I would visit both the large cities, such as Barcelona, Rome, Venice, and Athens, and also the beautiful coastal villages, the small Mediterranean islands, and the picturesque beaches of Africa. Ridiculous, right? That's why it's a dream.

My name is Andrew Harrison. I'm 23 and I'm from Washington D.C. I have what I like to call a slight addiction. An addiction to travel. I like to blame my parents for this addiction. It all started when I was five years old and my family moved to Japan. While living overseas, our Christmases would usually entail going to Hawaii, Malaysia, Guam or some other beach. I have had palm trees and sand at more Christmases than I have had Christmas trees. We would sometimes take vacations to Europe on our way home in the summer times. But it wasn't until I was 13 and we moved to Thailand that it got out of control.
