Thank you all for joining me on this journey!
I’ve wanted to travel for as long as I can remember. My junior year of high school I picked up a flier for a 10 day leadership conference in China and told myself, “This is happening!” My parents, supportive as always said if I could pay for half of the trip I could go. So between babysitting, teaching karate, and working as an art gallery attendant I did it. I loved every moment of that trip and this first adventure abroad gave me the bug to travel ever since.
Being my over achieving self, college hit and I sacrificed my plans to study abroad for the shiny business school and a double major. The furthest I made it was 10 days in England over spring break junior year where I ran into a girl from UC Berkeley on her own solo adventure- reinforcing my belief that it truly is a small world.
This summer I finally set off to back pack Europe with a goal of 10 countries in about 3 months. See where I’ll be when below!
