My Travel Story

by: Iris Kieft Start Date: Feb 25, 2020 - End Date: Oct 6, 2020
I moved from The Netherlands with my parents and brother when I was just 1, and have only visited my remaining family once in the last 9 years. My grandparents never had the chance to see me grow up, only through infrequent skype calls and cards. In November, I’ll be turning 18, and will finally have the chance to travel myself to see them again. I would love to see them again, their smiles mean the world to me, and they would do anything to see me if they could. I just recently recieved my green card, and haven’t been able to travel with my parents and brother for financial reasons. If this trip were funded for me, I would be infinitely thankful for the opportunity to see my grandparents again, for I don’t know when I’ll get another chance to do so, if even.
