Brett Dufur is a Missouri-born journalist. Having spent the last few years travelling extensively in Latin America, he has returned to the Midwest and has recently received his degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia. "The saying 'You travel the world only to return and se your home for the first time' really rings true for me," he said. "This project has opened my eyes to a richness I had previously overlooked." Brett spends his off-hours getting tangled up in words, traveling and exploring with his girlfriend, Tawnee, and his dog, Daisy.
