Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. My name is Becky and I'm 22 years old. I'm currently studying Tourism Management at Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, BC. My passion in life is travel; seeing new places and meeting new friends from all over the world! Hope you enjoy my travel blogs and learn lots! If you have any questions about Contiki, or travel tips in general, feel free to ask :)... full info
