Traveling Wahoo

Ryan, 22, Male. Gay. Student at UVA who loves to travel. Live in VA but I left my heart in Guam, my adoptive home. Topics of interest: travel photos, LGBT stuff, and pugs! :D Enjoy!
Aluno em Universidade de Virginia. Sou Americano. Gosto muito photos do Brasil e outras lugares bonitas. Falo portugues mas se voce quer eu posso falar em ingles com voce. :D Bem vindo!

the best ones are far away

skyped with someone for the first time. It went well I want to take it slower this time to enjoy it. He is willing to wait too so that is a good sign. :)

Virginia

I know I have lived here 11 years and often I just say “oh yeah I live there” but today I got all existential about it and thought about how it has become a part of my identity. I often think of other states but never really think of my own state because I am here already. I mean I talk about moving out but will Virginia ever move out of me? Good questions as I move into another part of my life soon.
