Curren has loved traveling from a young age; from visiting family across the US to exploring the natural world through camping and hiking. These lifelong passions led Curren to pursue a degree in Recreation Management and Leadership with a focus on Stainable Tourism, graduating from Western Washington University in 2021. During his time at WWU, Curren partook in a summer-long internship with Explorer X which led to him joining the Explorer X team post-grad. Curren continues to love supporting global exploration mindfully and sustainably by sharing his vision for a green future. Outside work, Curren enjoys connecting with family and friends through skiing, backpacking, photography, and world travel.
