Travel

Introduction

Background

I took my first plane ride before I took my first steps.

Each place gave me the opportunity to learn from many different cultures and traditions, as well as people from all walks of life.

In fact, it is travelling the world which also greatly shaped my path towards neuroscience.

Let me take you through my life of travel, showing you the beautiy of each place and my favorite thing about it.

The place where I was born, and only lived for 8 months before moving away.

Montenegro is known for its nature, including its beautiful coast and mountain ranges.
