Hello, I’m Matthew. Welcome to Shellpresso Adventures
In the summer of my junior year in college, I went to China for a 3 month internship. What was meant to be a work experience turned out to ignite something bigger inside me. Exploring new places, experiencing the unexpected, and diving into different cultures started to spark my love for travel.
Each trip brought experiences that have shaped me, like the kindness of people I met along the way. Especially in rural areas where the local language might be unfamiliar, you can really feel the warmth and kindness of the locals, inspiring you to be a warmer and kinder too. Hope you enjoy reading 😄
