For Cassidy Bruns, a passion for travel and helping others is paving the way for the next step in her journey.
Bruns, a graduating nursing major from Springfield, Illinois, said her desire to travel began with a volunteer trip to Ecuador she went on when she was 19 shortly after her dad died.
âI lost my dad, so it was kind of just a need to get away and kind of just clear my head, and nature does that for me,â Bruns said. âIt allows you some breathing room to just get away from life a little bit, and helping people makes me happy.â
