In 2014, I was fortunate enough to take the trip of a lifetime that included visiting and traveling through the UK, Portugal, Spain, France, Scandinavia, Germany, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Most of my travel involved staying with locals, which enabled me to take a deeper dive into each foreign culture. Some of my highlights included having the opportunity to live in Bosnia and Spain, which included working in tourism and the service industry in Sarajevo, and during my 7 months in India and Nepal, I attended a mountaineering institute in the Indian Himalayas, rode a motorcycle across the Jammu and Kashmir region of India, and solo trekked in far-eastern Nepal to the Kanchenjunga base camp, the third tallest peak in the world.
