Be­fore be­com­ing a cer­ti­fied glo­be­trot­ter, Dil­lon De­Coteau had as­pi­ra­tions of work­ing with aero­planes, al­though he didn’t know he would end up be­ing known for board­ing them rather than guid­ing them.

“I want­ed to be an Air Traf­fic Con­troller, so I sort of saw my­self do­ing some­thing in the trav­el in­dus­try but not ac­tu­al­ly do­ing the trav­el­ling my­self,” De­Coteau stat­ed.

He said that, as a child grow­ing up in the Bor­ough of Ari­ma, the on­ly coun­try he vis­it­ed was the neigh­bour­ing South Amer­i­can na­tion of Venezuela.
