Name: Matt Hometown: Maple Grove, MN Background: BA in MIS at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa. Two years consulting in Japan. Favorite Luggage Pros Product: Patagonia Critical Mass Laptop Messenger Bag If I was an accomplished sewer, brilliant at fashion design, and knew how to make fabric out of recycled pop bottles, I'd have invented this bag myself. Most memorable vacation: A few weeks spent hiking the Peruvian Andes and the Bolivian salt flats with a great friend. I couldn't believe the diversity between the coastal city to the remote mountain tops. It's a different world out there! Dream vacation: Twelve months flying, biking, paddling around the world. Odd quirk about you: I recently spent 8 hours in a Japanese interrogation room. Helpful Travel Tip: Check out local youth hostels and travel centers to find festivals and other unique attractions. Don't be afraid to stray from the beaten path. Learn enough of the language to show that you're interested in the place. |
