I started traveling internationally when I was 22 with a 2.5 week trip to Scotland. I'm currently on my third passport so you can definitely say that I love to travel! In addition to Scotland, I have also been to Paris (4 days), Mexico (3 times), Jamaica (7 days), Italy (8 days with students), Spain (7 days with students), and Japan (mostly Tokyo, 9 days with students).
