From New Egypt to Egypt

IMG-5916
A little about my background and what you'll find on this site.

Hello! My name is Josh Reed, and I am originally from a small town in New Jersey called New Egypt (no relation to old Egypt).  I'm a first-generation college student who grew up taking care of chickens, goats, and many other farm animals in our backyard. Recently, I moved from Boston's North End to Dublin Ireland for my work in the International Strategy & Operations space.

I've always loved the outdoors, but before heading up to Boston to attend Boston College, I had only flown on a plane once in my life.  Since then, I've discovered a love and appreciation for traveling as well.  On this site, I'm hoping to share some personal information, along with a few of my favorite photos, itineraries, and custom maps from my various trips in the US and around the world!
