Greetings!
My name is Justin Peifer, and I'm a a 24 year old currently weathering out the pandemic in my hometown of Montgomery, Alabama. Traveling is a huge passion of mine, and I've spent the last 2 years exploring the American Southwest, working seasonal jobs at the Grand Canyon, and spending much of the off-season in the beautiful city of Kyiv, Ukraine. One of my favorite things about traveling is being able to meet people from all walks of life. My closest friends are from all over the world, and I love being able to talk and explore our cultural differences and similarities.
I left Birmingham Southern College in 2018 to work at the Grand Canyon, and am currently just a few courses away from finishing my psychology degree online with Troy University. I find that having knowledge in psychology helps me make connections with people from many different backgrounds and cultures. Communicating with and helping people is one of my biggest passions, and I take pride in making someone’s day better in any way.
In my spare time I enjoy music, photography, cycling, and running. There's plenty more that I would love to talk about, and I look forward to getting to know you and your company!
