Although my travels across the Atlantic have been fairly minimal, the cultures laughs, and teachings I experienced have already impacted me so strongly. I’ve traveled to 10 countries, and through that, have matured in ways I wouldn’t have expected. I expanded my speaking skills while learning Italian and memorizing my essential coffee order. My taste enhanced as I tried new foreign foods and studied how to describe the flavors in my wine glass. I made new friends and pushed myself to say yes to the unexpected. I learned not to be afraid to dance when the music started playing. I returned home appreciating the memories I gained and excited for my future untold travels.
