    Who loves going out of the country?!? This guy right here! When I was in middle school my eyes really got open to surrounding countries. It was mostly in social studies class where my thoughts of traveling booted up. We were learning about the Mayans and the Incas, then not too much later about Macho Pichu (which I will be going to this summer.)

    My first out of country trip was to Belize and Guatemala for school. Man did I love it. My best memory was probably seeing the Mayan temples (including the one that was in star wars) and remembering how the pineapple tasted like candy. I loved the experience and culture of a third world country and wanted to build a house there immediately. Ever since then I have been to Peru, Columbia, Ecuador (Galapagos Islands), and Costa Rica. The places that I want to go to badly are Chile, Argentina, Africa, Australia, Russia, Mexico, Scotland, Ireland, and more. Going to some of these places would help me practice my Spanish that I learned in a Spanish immersion program in Peru.

   If you ever get a chance to go out of country, take it. There is always a new experience or lesson to learn that you will never learn in the US.
