I went on a whirlwind 5 country in 10 day tour of Europe while I was in high school. It was such an elightning experience so observe first hand how other people live. I especially liked trying all of the different types of food!
Speaking of traveling outside my country, I have recently accepted a job in Germany. I don't speak one bit of German but my husband and I are moving at the end of October. Life is too short not to just go for it sometimes!
