Zach emerged from a small community from where no one ever left. He had previously only encountered literature. After graduating from high school, many students found themselves automatically accepted at four-year colleges and institutions. On the other hand, after reading about so many fascinating places throughout the world, the thought of never visiting them was too much to bear. Zach then decided to board a plane the day after he finished high school and hasn't looked back since. Zach started visiting unfamiliar places and engaging with new people, all while living out of a bag and this became Zach's door to the wider world.
