Study Abroad 1998
I spent 6 months in a study abroad program in Utrect, Netherlands. Just 30 min south of Amsterdam and school 4 days a week, I was able to travel much of the time. Attached are stories and pictures of some of the adventures including being given "local" status at a ski resort in Tigne, France and being at Oktoberfest with nowhere to sleep. I will also answer that age old question, why anyone would ride a bike with a flat front tire for 3 weeks!




Asia Travels 2000
Post graduation trip, which began in Bangkok, Thailand. It ventured through Cambodia, Bali, Australia, Fiji, Los Angeles and back to Chicago. 3 Months with a backpack and cramming of countries. Too much, too fast and an amazing time. The homes of the 3rd world villages to cities with monorails and 2002 Olympics. Tuk Tuks to Taxis. Elephants to the mini bus. This is a compilation of 3 incredible months.
