South America:
“I can’t believe I got the chance to explore South America! Getting to experience the culture, the food, and the continent was amazing. I spent a month there. Driving around Italy for a week was so cool! I can’t believe I never knew there were that many kinds of pasta, I’ve been missing out so much. And then flying to Laos was one of the biggest culture shocks I’ve ever experienced. Going from Italy’s boats and rivers and ancient history to the mountains and dense forests in Laos was so wild. I can’t believe that this was real.”
North America:
“I had no idea that there were so many different cultures in North America. The wine and the bread in France paired so well with the spices and chicken from Congo. Not to mention the islands too! The blend of Polish sausage with the Tunisian spices and oil dips was so good. I didn’t realize that Congo was so big, and that France was so close. Cambodia was also a lot colder than I was expecting it to be, but it was such a fun visit!”
Europe:
“There were so many different foods and people in Europe! I can’t believe Peru, Senegal, and the Bahamas are so close; I saw them all in a month and they are in opposite corners of the continent. I think my favorite was Tuvalu because of the Alps. I went skiing and I had so much fun. I fell a couple times, but it was still a good time. I got to see the leaning tower of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and the ruins of ancient Nairobi in Kenya. I can’t believe how old Europe is, and how much history is packed into such a small continent.”
Africa:
“I went to Germany last weekend, and then took the ferry to South Korea. The culture difference was so huge I wasn’t sure I was even in the same continent anymore, but it was still fun regardless. After South Korea, I went to Montenegro, where I ate the best Mediterranean food ever, and drank wine unlike any I’ve had before. When I got bored of Montenegro, I went to Barbados and hung out by the oasis with mocktail daiquiris. It was so much fun. I wish I could go back and enjoy more of the continent!”
Asia:
“I can’t believe I got to experience such different cultures this month! I went to Peru, and I was able to visit Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines. There was so much to explore and experience, and I was lucky enough to get to fly to Finland from Peru and see the northern lights. And then I drove to see Athens and the ancient city. I got to fly over the Albanian range and see Mount Korab before heading to the Bahamas and drinking mocktails on the beach. I would absolutely recommend a trip to Asia; make sure you give yourself at least a month!”
