Quinn is a most seasoned traveler. His first big trip was at age 3 - a roadtrip taking in all the national parks west of the Rockies, including those in western Canada. What a trooper! He loved camping, eating chili cooked over a fire, and getting dangerously close to bisen at Yellowstone.
Since then, Quinn's passport has been stamped in parts of Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. He hopes to travel to China and New Zealand before he graduates from high school, and he'll very likely have an opportunity to visit Istanbul, Turkey and Samos, Greece, the place of origin of his mother's side of the family, in the next year.
Quinn's next stop is boarding school back in the U.S., attending Squaw Valley Academy in Northern California, where he looks forward to spending the winter learning to snowboard, as well as a Christmas trip to see his family soon to be moving to Kazakhstan.
Quinn doesn't necessarily see himself solely as an American any longer, although he's still proud to be one. He considers himself first to be a citizen of the planet.
