Hello, my name is Alyssa! I wish to go on a trip to France, Spain, and Japan with my boyfriend. The reason I wish to travel is because I have struggled most of my life to get out of my comfort zone. The one thing that I have pushed myself to do is learn a few languages of places I've always wanted to visit! It has been my dream to go somewhere that isn't my home but the homes of many others!

I want to learn about things that I can carry with me for my whole life then pass down to my children and friends. Things that will change the way we see the world and its people. I want to support the locals who work very hard to be where they are at and learn their stories! People go through something different every where, the situation could change depending on where you are, I want to learn the ups and downs of different countries and compare cultures. I find the best way to do this is to immerse yourself into none other than the where the culture originated.

To be a little more personal, I wish to go on this trip also to meet people who have struggled just like me maybe. I didn't have a great home life unfortunely and I wish to meet people whom to which I can give advice on how to handle home. 

Lastly I wish to expand my knowledge of the language in each country I visit to further my dream of becoming fluent in multiple languages. I may struggle at first but I've heard the best way to get better at something is to put yourself right in the middle of people who know it the best. I have saved up some money already around three hundred dollars and would be vey happy if you helped me along!
