My Travel Story

September of 2021 could be the start of a new chapter in my life. I have taken the plunge and applied to universities in the UK! This has been a dream of mine for years, but I never thought I'd be so close to making this a reality. I've been accepted into 3 of my 5 choices, and I'm excited to have gotten this far. I'll be going to school for Interior Design, in hopes of opening my own firm one day.

While I'm waiting for my last two responses, I'm buckling down on my finances. I've been blessed to be working while we're still fighting COVID. But with a cut in hours, it's looking harder for me to reach my goal. I'm thankful for the support of my friends and family, where I can put most of my paycheck into my savings.

Moving abroad is already a hectic transition, let alone starting university as well. Now add a global pandemic and it can be a bit daunting. Both can be seen as a challenge, but this is a huge development opportunity. Besides me obtaining a degree, the travel benefits are  immense as well! Being so central to Europe, I hope to get my far share of passport stamps.

At this point I need a little extra support to help to cover my travel expenses, and any new items I will when I arrive in the UK. Any contributions would be appreciated.
