My Travel Story

Hi! My name is Laura and I have always dreamed of traveling and studying abroad! I am currently studying Theatre Arts at Southern Utah University, and I would love to be able to study in the UK for a semester. I truly believe that the education I could receive in my chosen field would be enriched by studying outside of the United States and seeing what other cultures have to offer, as well as visitng one of the most theatrically bursting and historic of places. Unfortunately, studying abroad is very expensive, and the scholarships available through my university for study abroads are very limited. I am planning to work as much as possible to raise money until the trip, as I am passionate about this, and want to be able to experience as much as possible. However even with working, I am not sure if I will be able to afford the trip or be comfortable during my time there, and any donations would be greatly appreciated. 

My current plan is to go in the fall of 2025, so I that I have time to apply for the program, settle into my new school, and raise enough money to be able to travel. I do not know where I will be able to go (since my application is yet to be submitted), but my first choice option is Canterbury, UK. This would offer me the chance to do an exchange program (meaning I would only have to pay my unviersity's tuition, rather than the tuition of the school I would attend while abroad), it is only 1.5 hours from London, and offers quick flights, trains, or buses to nearby Belgium, Holland, and France. If I am not offered my first choice, I would like to go to Italy or Australia, which are my second and third options. 

After returning, I would love to inform my peers about what I learned and enrich my local community with the theatrical arts.
