Brandon Gardner,

age of 25, Brandon is already a grizzled travel warrior,
having
roamed 40 countries in just 6 years. His D4DR gene has
developed rapidly since his first voyage, in 1998, where he
sailed around the world aboard the Semester at Sea, a floating
university campus. Since then he has trekked most of Europe as
well as parts of Africa and Asia. His most recent journey took
him from Pittsburgh to Panama in a beat-up Chevy Celebrity,
stopping to do some volunteer work in Nicaragua along the way.
He is currently planning out his next adventure as well as
taking up International Law at the University of Pittsburgh
School of Law.
