I've wanted to travel for a long time and now that I'm 18 I'm able to do that. That would be if I wasn't drowning in medical bills. On November 11th 2023 I was in a life changing car accident. Hydroplaned off the road into a ditch and was ejected due to seatbelt failure. I am so far the only person to survive this amount of trauma, according to BAMC(the #1 trauma hospital In the world) every person who has gone through half of what I went through die. My pelvis completely separated from my spine and my bladder was torn open. After spending a month in the hospital and 3 weeks in rehabilitation I'm drowning in bills. I'm just starting to get back on my feet and walk again but I'd like to take this summer in between HS and College to travel a bit. I'd love to go to Greece as it's my favorite place and learn more about the culture as well as Dubai. I'd love to understand why Dubai has such an amazing economy.
