Hello from the Mojave Desert! My name is Matthew Webb and I'll be joining the crew in Bali, Indonesia. I'm a recent college graduate with a degree in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from North Carolina State University and minors in Outdoor Leadership and Environmental Science. I've spent the summer in Raleigh, North Carolina working for one of my professors on urban water quality projects.
My family moved to North Carolina when I was in middle school but before then we moved around every few years because my Dad was in the Navy. I've had the opportunity to do some traveling in the US and also a little around the world and am looking forward to the places I am going next with the crew!
My sailing experience is mostly limited to small boats on lakes around Raleigh so I'm really looking forward to joining the crew and getting my sea legs.
I've been vising family and friends in Southern California for the past few days and have seen some really incredible sights! The picture is of me enjoying the Devil's Golf Course this morning in Death Valley National Park, the lowest, hottest, and driest part of the country!
