My Travel Story

Hello,

As you probably know after deciding to click on this link, I have planned to sacrifice my ideal/dream summer in good ol' reliable Florida  for something more tedious and lifeless, such as Europe. -said no one ever.

But yes, I have decided to commit 2 months of this summer to take advantage of the opportunity I have been given to study abroad in Europe. My trip will consist of visiting Barcelona, Berlin, London, Paris, Prague, and Vienna. These are all clearly prime places you would love to see on your Facebook feed, and I am here to make that possible. I will be taking on the challenge of studying the multidisciplinary perspectives with an emphasis on social issues in Europe. I also hope to learn and pick up on the different romance languages (French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish -according to google).

To be brief (because we both know no one likes essays), studying abroad is a huge amount of money, which is broken down to the right. This also doesn't include the money I will need for my car payment, rent, etc while I am away traveling. I will be working my job twice as much to save up, as well as applying for as many scholarships as I can. I am trying to raise as much money as I can on my own instead of draining the wallets of my birthgivers.

Please don't feel obligated to help, I am grateful enough you took the time to read this! However, even a spare dollar could help!!

$8,000 is a l o t, a girl has to start somewhere..... I guess beginning with me donating 20 dollars to myself

I will leave you with this gift -
As said once in the great Tupac song "I get around" -"I'm just trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents"
