My Travel Story

Global opportunities close the gaps in connections between people. Those who travel get to understand this world on a deeper level and can make several layers of positive impact on people and lands that they encounter throughout their lives and careers.

I am excited to again have the chance to see another part of the world and add to my growth as a leader/up and coming professional.

In spring 2018, my university's Study Abroad department is hosting a professor led trip to Eastern Europe. From May 14th until May 25th, we will gain a first-hand understanding of the politics and economic systems of European Union, Budapest, Hungary.  We will experience Krakow, Poland and be exposed its history during World War II through visits to locations such as city’s old Jewish Ghetto, and the Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz. Following this, we will venture to Prague, the Czech Republic and  Vienna, Austria for immersion into its arts and cultural experiences.

These types of experiences are important to shaping me as an individual and helping me to be the best contributor I can be to this world. It is unfortunate that my personal situation doesn't easily allow for me to cover the experiences on my own.

I seek your kindness and assistance in helping me to continue to develop and experience other cultures.  For me, even though we do have fun, it is about way more than that. It is through these experiences that my innovation soars and I come up with ideas on what I can do in life to help others.

I thank you in advance for any amount that you can donate to fund my travels. My guarantee to you is that this is an investment that would not be wasted and I will surely pay it forward in life.
