100th Blog Post

G’day Mates! It is an honor to announce this is my 100^th blog post! I can’t believe I am passing the 100^th mark, but I am happy to share this journey with you. As I look back it has been a fun, busy adventure, but things are just getting started. Now since summer break is here it is time to take a break from school and enjoy the hot weather. Things are about to get started because you’ll be able to follow my journey throughout Europe for a month. I am travelling from May 21 until June 19 with my friend Sophia from Moraine Park. Sophia and I will be discovering new places, food, and cultures. This will be one of my biggest trips besides when I studied abroad in Australia for a semester. As we encounter new countries I will be posting pictures and videos of our adventures. So sit back and enjoy the journey it is going to be heaps of fun! First stop will be in Dublin, Ireland for a couple of days; this is something you don’t want miss out on! Catch you soon mates!

Cheers,

Our Journey to Madison

Happy Friday Mates! On March 16, my friend Sophia and I headed down to Madison, to finish booking our Europe trip at the STA (Student Travel Agency) store. As we were driving down the weather was nice, but midway through our journey we had to drive through fog. Fog is one of the weather conditions I don’t like driving through because I can’t see what is around. As we got closer to Madison the fog lifted up, and the weather was beyond amazing. Nothing beats a sunny day in Madison because there is so much to see and do. As we entered the STA Company we were greeted with friendly service, and our agent Jessica helped us with all of our travel plans for a month. After we finished booking our trip, we meet up with Sophia’s friend for lunch. Once we finished getting lunch, we went shopping. We didn’t find much but we did enjoy walking around looking at several of shops, and coffee shops. Afterwards since Sophia’s friend, Casey, attends the University of Wisconsin - Madison, she gave us a mini tour of the campus. It is amazing how many people attend UW-Madison and how big this campus is, it is like a small community within itself. As soon as the fun was starting it was time for us to head back to Fond du Lac because I had to work. I must say our journey to Madison was well worth it, and I hope to visit Madison again because there is so much to do. Well mates I hope you enjoy this journey because there is more to come! See you soon!

Cheers,

Super Friday

G’day Mates! February 24 was a super exciting day, but first I would like to say Happy Friday! After not having classes on Friday I took this opportunity to finally purchase my backpacking trip to Europe this summer with my friend Sophia. Although it was supposed to have been five of us going, three of our friends dropped out because they couldn’t afford it anymore. We were sad but the journey must continue on. We purchased our ticket through STA (Student Travel Agency). This is a company that is specializing in trips for students and teachers, with the cheapest route to travel. I booked other trips with them before and I enjoy their service because they are friendly, and experience traveling so they give a first-hand recommendation to various places. My friend Sophia and I are super excited for this trip because we are traveling for a month in twelve different countries in Europe. This is definitely a once in a life time experience to try experience new cuisines and cultures. Our next step in our trip is buying our train ticket and finding the best way for us to save money. I plan on sharing my experience with you as we prepare our trip, and as we continue our voyage across the big pond. Well mates after that exciting step that is all for today, I realize planning can be a lot of work, but at the end it is worth the wait and patience of working hard. If you want to know more about traveling or have any questions please leave a comment. It would be my pleasure to reply back. Until next time, ciao!
