Sydney is a double major at the Univerisity of Florida in Telecommunication News and Theatre. She is the writer and creater of www.bohotravel.org. She spends her free time roadtripping, getting into trouble, and trying to find joy in the little things. If she's not in the newsroom or the theatre, she's probably drinking wine, watching "Friends", and planning her next big adventure. With a serious passion for travel she enjoys spending it with friends and family, and anyone who shares her thirst for discovering new places. You'll often hear her say "You can sleep when you're dead", and then rushing off towards something fun and exciting. She plans never to settle for anything less than she deserves and never be content because she believes you can always keep growing. Souls have to breathe, and without travel, that is near impossible.
