My name is Kyler Smith, and I am a senior at Linfield College, in McMinnville, Oregon. I grew up in the fantastic city of Portland, Oregon, and spend a lot of time at my family's second home in Goodyear, Arizona. Exploring the world is my passion, and I love to surround myself with good people, ideally doing both while sitting next to a campfire on a warm Oregon summer night.

I'm still learning a lot about many things in the world at my young age, and I believe there's no way to enjoy this chapter of my life more than trying new things and travelling around the nation and the world. As of now, I have been very fortunate to have visited twenty U.S. National Parks, travel to Europe twice, and study abroad in the great country of New Zealand.
