A Crazy Year of Travel

For me, one of the best parts about living in Europe is being surrounded by so many different amazing places and cultures, separated only by short flights and reasonable train rides. I have been extremely lucky to visit places that some dream about visiting their entire life. Every trip I take fuels my desire for the next, and I hope that it will never end.

I find that as I explore more corners of the Earth, I’m not only learning more about the world, but also more about myself. The most important thing to be gained from travel, in my opinion, is perspective. I believe it is absolutely essential to be able to see the world from as many angles as possible (literally). It has been an incredible experience to see how life unfolds for a wide range of people, however, I know that there is a whole world still yet to be seen for me.

For my next adventure, I’m considering Stockholm, Helsinki, Budapest and Vienna 🙂 I’ve also been challenged to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, which I hope to complete in June 2017!
