Hello all! I'm Ryan Aguirre from Portland, TX and for the next six months, I'll be traveling the globe as a member of the international student group, Up with People! Thanks to the countless people who helped to get me to where I am today, I'll be living one of my many dreams as I begin my travels on July 11. The intent of this site is to allow everyone back home to track me over the course of my six months away by way of my personal travel blog and of course pictures; lots and lots of pictures!
