Hannah at Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany.
Hannah Collins has been making her mark on the world for quite some time. She has deep roots in Ireland, with a ton family originating and living there today. At the age of 16, through an organization called People to People Student Ambassadors, Hannah did a tour of the UK. She visited England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. During high school, Hannah also did a ten day tour of Italy. Recently, this past Fall 2013 semester at her University, Hannah studied abroad in London, England. Overall she's been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy.
Hannah sharing cultural experience with friends! In Ireland!
Hannah is a Junior Communication Studies Major at James Madison University with a concentration in Public Relations. She is already a very experienced world traveler with a cultural family history.
Even with such cultural experience, Hannah chose the study abroad program through her University because she wanted to know what it was like to actually live abroad; not just to vacation or visit. She also wanted to experience the new cultures for a more extended period of time.
Her favorite place out of all the destinations she has visited so far is London, England. She loved the city environment, and all the opportunity that came with it. She stated, "You never had to worry about being bored. I miss it every day!"
While traveling abroad, Hannah had many fun and interesting experiences, but the top one had to be camping out at Oktoberfest. While in Munich, Germany, for the event, Hannah and her peers camped out in an actual tent at a campsite just a bus ride away from the festivities. It was an experience in itself.
If Hannah could pick any destination to fly to next, it would have to be Greece. If given the chance, that will definitely be added to her list of places traveled.
Hannah highly recommends traveling to people of all ages. It's an even better experience if you have a chance to bring friends, family, or both! The experience of traveling the world is even better when you have people to share them with.
Take in Hannah's advice, research a study abroad or student ambassador program, or simply plan a vacation. Take an opportunity to ready, set, roam!
