Get Devin to Innsbruck, Austria
My Travel Story
I wasn't always interested in vacationing, though.
I started college with my eyes set on acting. I spent some time at Florida Atlantic University in the Theatre program as an introduction to my training. When I felt I was ready, I auditioned for the B.F.A. Acting program at the University of Central Florida. Just days after I had received my acceptance email for the program, my life turned to shambles.
My mother had a stroke just days after I received my acceptance letter, and that I was going to move to Orlando. She was in between several hospitals and rehabilitation centers along the South Florida coast. With the help of some family members, I was tasked with settling her affairs and assets before clearing out our home and moving to Orlando. Then I was on my own.
She was moved to a rehabilitation center in Central Florida, where she is now in the care of the state. I worried about her day and night during my first semester in the acting program. It affected my grades severely and ended up leaving the selective program and joined the Rosen college.
I spent the past two years of my life conflicted. To me, there's nothing better than providing escape for people from their daily routine. I've been torn between my passions for acting and guest service. To quote a brief passage from Bryan Cranston's A Life in Parts, "If I stayed the course and chose the path that aligned with my aptitiude, was I embarking on a life of compromise and regret?...We were at a crossroads. We had talked about doing a big trip for a while. Why not now?"
I am looking to provide my own escape for reflection. That's what I'm looking for in Innsbruck, Austria.
