Since I was little I always had the goal of traveling abroad for an extensive amount of time. This was the time that I made that goal/dream come true. The market was tough for new graduates, after applying for what seemed like hundreds of jobs I decided it was time to concentrate on myself and learn about other cultures. I gained some invaluable skills from my adventures abroad and am extremely glad that I was given the opportunity to explore these unique places, people, and food!
