Clayton is a self-proclaimed geography nerd that enjoys learning about new places and cultures. In his spare time, he studies maps as well as the history and culture of new locations, resulting in an ever-lengthening bucket list.

He was afforded opportunities to explore both Mexico City and Athens in a more organic sense through a former career with a college student ministry, and enjoyed London as well, but as more of a tourist. One of his favorite travel memories was serving a Christmas meal to refugees in Athens and hearing their stories of hope; Athens is truly a crossroads of cultures between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
