Gen Moore

Travel Junkie By Sarah Olney Venice Is the beautiful city, the culture is lush and yes, tourism may be a criticism for some, but for Gen getting to see the world and its diversity is part of the charm. It’s because of this, and of course the beach, that she can easily say Italy is her favorite place out of all her travels. Gen has been traveling as long as she can remember. As asked about her firsts, she can vaguely remember a trip to Mississippi she went on at 2 years old. More clearly she can remember her first time out of the states in 3rd grade. A trip to Canada, full of hiking, horseback riding, kayaking and swimming. Gen is always living life to the fullest and experiencing all the new things she can find. A perfect example of this, and another core memory Gen has, is the surf camp she attended this summer. Spending full days on the beaches of California is definitely not something to forget. Gen being an avid traveler and adventure enthusiast is no doubt, and it's safe to say she won’t be stopping this lifestyle anytime soon. For the time being as a dual sport athlete and high school student, fitting in time for other travels and adventures may prove to be tough. Some goals and dreams Gen has for her future would be going to Bora Bora, swimming with sharks and ideally moving to Hawaii after graduating. Whatever she ends up doing next will be a mystery, but with her track record there is no doubt it will be something new for her to remember forever.
