Victoria Costa , also known as Torie is a current junior at Frostburg State University. Pursuing a degree in English with a concentration in professional
writing Torie plans to become a free-lance writer for a big company or join the Peace Corps
for two years to teach English to those in underdeveloped countries. Besides
being a student Torie loves to spend time writing, hiking, surfing, and working
out.
Torie also has a thrill for traveling. She has
traveled to the London, Germany, Austria, Trinidad and Tobago, and more. Getting
the opportunity to travel so many places it must be hard to choose which would
be the best out of all. “Trinidad
and Tobago was hands down more different than the rest, but it came with a lot
of struggle.” In a country where she stood out and the crime rate is
extremely high you must be cautious to your surroundings. “With all this being said,
however, this was by far the most beautiful place(s) I have ever been to.
Especially Tobago. The beaches are beautiful, littered with wild goats and
clear water, I’ve never seen anything like it. With plentiful amounts of coral,
the walls lining the hotels were made up of huge coral pieces and stone.”There was most definitely a culture shock Costa exclaimed.
Combining
both her passions of writing and traveling she has considered creating a travel
blog. “I plan to start one when I start traveling more. It is hard to
travel as a student, unless I study abroad, of course.” A home all over the world is the name of her story because she has family all over the world who don`t mind lending her a place to stay when she gets that itch for adventure. Having that resource and a passion of writing will make Torie`s travel blog aspirations become a reality.
