I'm currently a student at the University of Northern Iowa with a major in marketing and a minor in health promotions. When I'm not slaving away at the library trying to finish my degree, you can find me on the mountains shredding some slopes. If I'm not there I'm probably in the hospital due to the shredding of the slopes. (I separated my shoulder last year on the Black Diamond). If I'm not on the slopes or in the hospital I could possibly be on a plane. I love traveling. I've been to 8 countries, and that's not including the greatest of them all, the US of A! I have been fortunate enough to get to travel with my family and friends throughout the years visiting Canada, Mexico, Ireland, Costa Rica, Panama, Scotland, France, and England.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does buy you a plane ticket to somewhere.
Okay, I'm not saying you need to take out your life savings just so you can afford a trip, but I am saying you should take out most of it! You have your whole life to slave away at your job and make money. If you're in college then you're probably already broke, and if you're not, then you're not doing it right! College is the best time to travel.
You have some of your best friends you will ever have (Trust Me) in your life right at your fingertips.
You're young!
You have all the time in the world.
Once you graduate, your real responsibilities set in.
Some of the greatest life lessons I learned were while I was traveling. Traveling gives you experiences you can't learn in the classroom. It changes the way you interact with people. You learn to appreciate the things life has to offer even when things aren't going your way.
I truly believe that traveling can change the way you see the world and in turn change your approach to things in the business world. Traveling helps you market yourself!
And hey, you might be in middle of Ireland and find a bar named after you!
