About
From New Egypt to Egypt

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!

Growing Up In
New Jersey
While it has been amazing to experience so many different countries and cultures around the world, I think it's also important to remember where you came from.
My hometown, though small (one-fourth the undergrad student population at Boston College for perspective), has helped in forming my most cherished values and perspectives. It is thanks to those in my family who came before me, as well as the values instilled in me by my parents, that I got to where I am.
Ultimately, it is important to remember where you came from when you look to where you are going.
