When I started university, I knew I was going to study abroad. My department worked with me so I wouldn’t get behind in my studies. When my junior year finally arrived, I was so ready to truly travel. I was 21.
During my time studying in Perugia, Italy, I spent my weekends exploring. From roaming the Italian countryside and small towns to wandering big cities and many touristy locations, I couldn’t get enough. One long weekend, I escaped to Barcelona, Spain and spent five days in Paris, the city of love. I ended my semester abroad with a 2-week Contiki tour in England, Scotland, and Ireland. I was HOOKED!
Reality hit the moment I stepped back onto US soil. University graduation came and I was onto graduate school. I’m a certified Speech Language Pathologist, and obtaining a Master’s is a necessity in my career. There was no time to take a break to travel.
