I was an architecture student before and as an architecture student, it is my dream to explore and see in person iconic buildings and structures such as the Colosseum, the Vatican City and the amazing cathedrals and churches in Italy.
We'd always dreamed of a road trip to western Ireland and were able to make it as we were heading back to our home in Budapest after a summer visit with our families in the United States.
We (my husband and I) were living abroad in Budapest when my parents and brother came for a visit. My mother had always wanted to visit Poland, so we decided to road trip there!
We had seen stunning pictures and wanted to experience the moody Scottish highlands.
I love Art Deco architecture and Miami is one of the best places in the world to see it.
My husband was an anthropology major in college. He always wanted to see Machu Picchu. We took the family to Machu Picchu for his 50th birthday and our 20th anniversary!
My dad and I went on a trip here together.
Met friends there on study abroad
I visited my friend studying there over a long weekend while i myself was studying abroad.
My first trip to Europe was with my Dad as a high school graduation trip. London was our first stop!
I originally studied abroad in the Basque Country and spent 5 months in San Sebastian and traveling all over Spain. I've been back to the Basque Country 3 times since then for varying amounts of time.
This was my first international trip with my Dad for my high school graduation!
Ever since studying Spanish in high school, Spain has been on my list. Madrid seemed like the logical place to start. I knew little about it before arriving other than pork was a big deal and their soccer team Real Madrid was one of the best in the world.
After spending a few weeks in Spain, I was ready for the beach. Malaga was a short drive from Sevilla and appealed to my desire for sun, sand and of course more tapas.
I had dreamed about visiting London since I was a kid. I had a quick stopover there as I was making my way to Dublin. British people seemed so similar to me, an American! Yet, their accents were absolutely delightful. I was ecstatic to meet some British people and eat some fish and chips.
