My Travel Story

by: Svea Drentlaw Start Date: Jun 15, 2016 - End Date: Jun 14, 2017
I was lucky enough to travel to Sweden when I was in 6th grade-more that 10 years ago.  While there, the most important thing that happened to me was meeting many relatives whose greatgrandparents had not made the voyage to America.  Through this trip, my Fiance and I will travel to Sweden and Norway to connect with my relatives and Germany and France to connect with his. 
We've been in contact with these people for some time, but we've never gotten to see them or much of our homeland in person.  Since we were both brought up in families who thought that "the old country" was important, we want to see how the times changed traditions in Sweden, Norway, France, and Germany as well. 
Since we are getting married next summer, perhaps this could be a honeymoon!   :D


Thank you so much for helping make this dream into a reality.
