Studying Abroad

During the first semester of my senior year in college, I had the opportunity to travel abroad. It was one of the greatest decisions of my life and I learned a lot while being away. I studied in the country of Cyprus which is an island in the Mediterranean near Turkey and Greece. The county is filled with Greek culture, beautiful beaches, and sunshine. During my travel search, I found much difficulty finding cheap flights and airlines. Unfortunately, finding airfare was a task I had to do on my own. Air travel was the only way to reach the country and I need to find a round trip flight that fit within my budget. Finding cheap flights to a foreign country was extremely difficult for me especially because I have never done it before. All I needed was a helping hand behind an easy to use internet platform to guide me throughout the process. I hoped for a service that could find me the best available flight and transportation. My hope is to create a travel service that arranges the cheapest airfare, as well as, provides any necessary information regarding a customer's travel plans.

When visiting other countries, or even states, I am sure many have questions about the culture, points of interest, food, location, or transportation as I did when I was in Cyprus. An online travel agency could be in efficient way to get questions answered without having to even meet with an agent. For those with extra vacation days, this travel service can begin their search with notifications on upcoming deals and setting a personalized trip. I think my travel service can benefit many people seeking to see the world.

After doing a series of blog posts about studying abroad I went to take a second look at my previous study abroad post. Posting about travel has made me reminisce about some of the beautiful places I have been other than Cyprus. I may have studied in Cyprus, but I also traveled to Greece, Poland, England, Romania, Belgium, and Austria. Greece being the first trip out of Cyprus was not what I was expecting the country to be. My friends and I stayed in an Airbnb in Athens. It was within walking distance from the Parthenon. Getting off the train, I could notice the country's economy was struggling as I read before entering the country. The walk to our accommodation was filled with interesting, but welcoming, groups of people. Our room was beautiful. It incorporated a fantastic view of some of Athens' most famous attractions.

Day two we walked to the Parthenon and visited the Acropolis Museum, where I learned the area was dedicated to worship the goddess Athena. The structures and figures were incredible to see. The remainder of my trip was filled with traditional Greek dishes, music, dance, and architecture. After flipping through the countless pictures I have from studying abroad, I felt the urge to at least give you incite about my trip to Greece. I hope to elaborate more from my initial Study Abroad post and detail the ability of independent travel while studying abroad.
