My Travel Story

by: Rachel Perkins Start Date: Mar 28, 2016 - End Date: Nov 7, 2016
Following graduation from The University of Georgia in May 2016, I plan to move to Australia for a year to live, work, and travel. This has weighed heavily on my heart since the day I left Australia in January of 2015, and I have longed to go back ever since. I know that if I do not pursue my passion to travel and live abroad while I am young, then the opportunity may pass me by. 

As many of you know, I have grown up with a passion for sports, and have worked within the Atlanta Braves Organization for the past four years. I hope to continue a career in the sports/entertainment industry, and Australia is the perfect place to gain experience because of the passion and national obsession that surrounds sports there. 

I choose this destination because I admire the laid back atmoshpere and unique culture that the country and people have to offer, and I am excited to begin my trip of a lifetime! I have worked hard throughout high school and college to work and save money for this period of my life, but any donations that you would like to offer in order to fund my trip that will jumpstart my career would be greatly appreciated!
