I am inspired to travel all around and meet new people. I have been in California all my life, and only been on trips with my parents when I was younger (and they were with tour groups so it was not a lot of fun). The past 2 years I made a promise to myself to visit several new countries every year. In 2016, I visited friends in Germany, experienced the Mid-summer festival in Estonia, saw graduating students parade the streets of Copenhagen, and went on a free walking tour in Prague. In early 2017, I went on a business trip to Singapore for a week and met very friendly people there. I hope to visit Italy, Croatia, Austria, Poland, Greece, the Scandinavian countries, and Turkey this year.
