I would absolutely love this experiment! I love to travel and my experiences traveling to other countries so far in life have changed the way I look at life and culture and I think this experiment would definitely expand on that and change my perspectives further. I took a Europe trip my junior year of high school where I went to London, Paris, Florence and Rome and within 30 minutes of landing in London I probably heard 10 different languages and it was just the coolest experience.  I think to pay for this I might do some freelance travel blogging, if you can get paid for that. I also love working with kids and want a career in pediatric physical therapy so maybe I could do some work in orphanages in each city or working remotely from each location to assist in possibly something with social services? My top 10 locations would probably be London and Florence because I loved my experiences there, and then Amsterdam, Santorini, Athens, Morocco, Copenhagen, Berlin, Barcelona, and Venice. I love learning about different cultures and seeing the way that other countries work and then comparing that to the way we do things here in America. I also love seeing the architecture, different countries and cities around the world have such unique architecture and buildings and it is so cool to see and look at. It can also tell you a lot about the culture in that country as well. The food is another aspect of different countries that I would enjoy! There is nothing like true Italian pizza.

Hi Morgan!
I have also traveled to Europe, but I was younger than a junior in high school. I absolutely loved my experience in Europe and learned so much from my trip. I think your idea for paying for a trip is realistic in the fact that it could be associated with what your major is in or not. We have a couple of places on our locations list that are the same. I also find the idea of comparing life and the way things are done in other countries to your own life here in the US and previous places you have lived is fascinating.

Hi Morgan! I went to Europe when I was in High School as well and it gave me a little exposure to traveling but not enough for me to fully experience some cultures. I also had Venice on my list, I think is it so cool how the entire city is on water and you get everywhere by boat! I also love London, I feel like it is such an easy place to go and enjoy yourself. I did not think about going to Germany but now that you said Berlin, I think that would be a fun place to visit. I would probably like to go on the more countryside of Germany close to Switerzland and France and experience some really cool culture (I would feel like Belle in Beauty in the Beast).

Ugh I really loved hearing about where you would go! I've been to Berlin and it was insanely cool! There's all this damage from WWII and instead of perfectly fixing all the buildings, the government just patched up the bulletholes, so I literally saw buildings that were just full of bulletholes. It was such a crazy way to experience history! I also really like working with kids so I want to do that if I were actually going away for a year. I think it would bring me so much joy just to live my life in such a relaxed way!
