If you could pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Unforgettable.

What were you most nervous about and/or excited about before traveling to Spain and Morocco?
I was so paranoid about the voltage situation in Europe. I wanted to make sure I could charge my cameras and iPod! Besides that, I was too excited to be nervous.

You took tons of pictures on the trip. How did you first get into photography?
Hanging with my best friends and realizing how beautiful the sky was inspired all of us to go out and take photography; then it developed from an interest into a dream career.

How did the trip change your life?
I am considering working in the travel business, but my main goal first is to study photography in art school.

What was your favorite city that you visited?
Oh, that would easily be Barcelona because of the diversity of things to do and its beauty and its city-life.

What's your favorite memory from Life on Tour: Spain and Morocco™?
Soccer on the Barcelona beach with the sun setting. Epic.

Now that you've been bitten by the travel bug, where do you want to go on your next trip abroad?
Japan has always been my number one travel, dream destination.

How have your ideas about the world changed since returning home from Life on Tour: Spain and Morocco™?
The world is so much bigger than the United States, and I think everyone, especially students, should travel as much as physically possible.

Anything else you'd like to add?
Best experience of my life!

"This tour really changed my life. Getting the bonding experience with some of my class mates, exploring a brand new never before seen continent, and learning about things that were brought to life instead of in a textbook."
