Sam Renk
Sam studied biochemistry and Spanish in Duluth, Minnesota where he first caught the travel bug while studying abroad in Spain in 2013. In the years since, he's spent all his extra dollars on whichever trip was planned next, mostly back to Spain and around Western Europe--having not missed a summer since. He spent last summer in South America working for RLT and has been counting down the days until summer 2020 for another go-around. When not working, Sam likes to try and spend as much time as he can learning new things, enjoying good company, and playing music. He's always up for a good talk and never does anything fun without a disposable camera in his pocket.
