I was fortunate to grow up near the Canadian border and enter my second country before I even knew what countries actually were. Throughout the United States, this is very uncommon and I think being in Europe is the perfect opportunity to explore and experience cultures that are unavailable in the U.S. I am extremely lucky to have been able to meet friends from college and to travel with them throughout countries.
