After coming from different places and traveling the globe with their own families, Lily and Vicky's worlds have collided now that they've found such a strong friendship at EXPLO.
Lily: We met three days ago.
Vicky: And now we are Halloween Twins! She is just my type of person. She acts the way I act.
Lily: Other than our shirts, we also have the same kind of personality. We’re both kind of funny! Vicky makes a lot of really funny jokes.
Vicky: Lily and I are both travelers. I’ve been to Morocco, Chile, Spain, Vietnam, England, France, and more!
Lily: I’ve been to China, Japan, India, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Costa Rica, the Galapagos, and Ecuador.
Vicky: Traveling is very important. This summer before EXPLO I went to Iceland. Almost every summer I do a really big family trip. I went to Kenya and South Africa recently with my mom’s whole side of the family. Kenya was one of the coolest cultures I witnessed. We went on safaris and visited these remote tribes. I love learning about different cultures. I really pay attention to the different lifestyles of people.
Lily: Yes, that’s very important. Everywhere you go you will experience new things. Coming to EXPLO and meeting Vicky made it feel like a small world — that you could come here or go anywhere and make friends.
Vicky: I thought my friends in Puerto Rico were the only people I’d ever be able to really relate to. But now that I’ve met Lily…
Lily: ...that’s not true!
