My name is Parker. I started traveling before I was two. My dad was a dean for this unique college study abroad program called Semester at Sea, so I got to sail on a ship around the world three times with college students. That sparked my interest in learning more about different countries, history, and cultures. I have been lucky enough to visit over 60 countries and all seven continents and have learned something unique about each of them. However, I am most fascinated by how the history of those places has shaped their culture. That's why I try to have each trip I take have a historical deep dive at some point in time.

In sixth grade, my History teacher encouraged me to enter some tournaments sponsored by International Academic Competitions (IAC). I ended up winning the National History Bee that year and the next and coming in second in the world at the International History Olympiad. I especially loved leading my history team to the National History Bowl Championship in 8th grade. I am still an active IAC History Bee and Bowl competitor and plan to expand to the NAQT Quiz Bowl. I love the competition and how it makes history come to life, but I most appreciate all the friends I have made worldwide.

I want to share my knowledge and experiences with others, particularly young people. I believe that if you get inspired to see the world and learn about history, people, and cultures early in your life, it will stick with you forever. Not everyone can travel, especially when they are young. However, people may be more likely to seek out the adventure of history travel at some point in their lives if they get a taste of it. I hope to provide a taste of how fun and educational history travel can be so that people, especially young people, will crave that taste for the rest of their lives.
