Matthew Morgan-Pegues
What’s good, everyone! I am Matthew Morgan-Pegues, and I currently live in Southern California. For as long as I can remember, travel has been a part of my life. As a child, I recall traveling from Ohio to North Carolina and South Carolina to visit family or to attend family reunions. However, my love for international travel came as a result of participating in an internship in Jamaica doing prostate cancer research during the summer of 2012 and 2013. While a student at Shaw University, I was also allotted the opportunity to travel to China and Israel. Since graduating in 2016, I have continued visiting different countries and collecting stamps in my passport. Before the pandemic, I planned on visiting all fifty states before turning thirty. Now that things are opening up again, it’s time to get to the last twenty-two states that remain unvisited. When I am not traveling, you can catch me at the beach, hanging with friends, or recording content for my YouTube channel.
