Welcome to Worldwide Walkabouts!

If you enjoy backpacking, hiking, volunteering, eating, self-improvement, or maybe just living, I think you will enjoy my personal blog. Here you will find many stories about getting lost, meeting people from around the world, cooking, changing my perspective, and going on random adventures.
If youre interested, take a look. I hope you enjoy!

For the technically curious:

- iOS application developed in Swift, using MVP as the main design pattern. Dependency injection and test-driven development were used to help with testing and future design changes.
- Implemented a independent caching mechanism for all types of data, allowing the app to be used entirely offline, unnoticed.
- Custom view controller transitions, 3D touch interactions, and animations were used to provide a sleek user experience.
- Employed CAAnimation and CoreGraphics to animate and draw the logo.
- Google Maps iOS API used in the app to display places I have visited.

- For the backend server application, I used a MERN tech stack.
- Google Places API used on the backend to look up coordinates of places entered.
- For the front end user interface of the web application, I used React and Bootstrap.
