Connor Neely, 22, is a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he studies Biomedical and Health Sciences Engineering. Connor grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and attended two Moondance trips. He loved his experiences on both Big Wild and Spain + Morocco and he knew he needed to apply to be a Moondance leader and create those experiences for his students! Connor grew up coaching swimming and tutoring both middle and high schoolers and is excited to translate those abilities and lessons into his position as a Moondance leader. Connor also has a bug for outdoor exploration, which he attests began on his first Moondance trip. Connor solo backpacked through Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Wales during the summers of 2021 and 2022, during which he was able to connect with local communities and have valuable experiences. Connor is an outstanding Moondance alum, and we are so excited to see him lead this summer in Iceland!
