July 19, 2026by: Arianna Gear - United StatesProgram: Journey Through Western Europe
I loved going on the 2026 trip to Western Europe! It was amazing and helped me become more confident in myself and my abilities. I have learned how to navigate foreign countries and areas in which I know little about, which is very useful for my future. All of the food was delicious, and the experience was top-notch! I loved Europe, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget!

My family has been my motivation and inspiration to go abroad. I come from a family where most of us are complacent with small, everyday life. My family is split between living in Hickman, Kentucky, and Rutherford, Tennessee, both of which are generally very small towns. Most of my family has either worked in factories their whole life or in jobs that do not require a collegiate degree.

My first trip abroad was to Mexico when I was in college, studying Spanish. That experience changed everything for me; it brought the language to life and showed me how much we can learn by stepping outside our comfort zones.
