Let me begin this post by expressing how grateful I am for the travel opportunities I have as a student at Franklin College! I am sure you all know by now how much I love exploring new places. But what I think many people forget is that for every picture of me in front of a cathedral or wandering narrow city streets in a foreign land, I have spent many long hours traveling to get there. And more often than not, a less direct route to my destination is the cheapest.. So that being said, I decided the other day to try and quantify my travels over the last academic year.. and this is the result! Europe by the numbers!
