Montrel Grant
Stratford, NJ 08084
Summary
My name is Montrel Grant. For the past six years, I have been traveling the world. I have lived in many different corners of the world and have immersed myself in as many cultures as possible, from living in the Shaolin temples of China to living in the outback in Australia. Traveling is my passion and joy. I have the greatest love for learning about different cultures but an even greater love for immersing myself in the culture.
In traveling I have experienced a great deal and have acquired new skills, albeit in an unorthodox manner! However, it is in exploring and immersing myself in different cultures of the world that I have developed a strong ability to adapt to most environments and learn new skills quickly.
At my core essence, I am a traveler, adventurer, and explorer. I love to learn new things and open my mind up to new cultures and ideas. Even more than this I love to CHALLENGE myself and continue to grow in character.
