My name is Jackson Martinez and I am a 21 year-old student at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse where I am in my final semester studying Communication with a Media Studies emphasis. I was born and raised in the Midwest United States, which I constantly find myself trying to escape from when the funds permit. I have a borderless passion for seeing the world, which has lead me to 18 countries on 3 different continents by the age of 20. Through this passion for traveling has came my love for storytelling, especially when those stories being told shape a better tomorrow. When I'm not letting my creative juices flow, or buying a discounted flight to somewhere on the map, I love to spend time with my girlfriend, friends, and family, who I am lucky enough to call my biggest fans.
