Since a lot of my family lives in Lebanon, where my father is from, I spent almost every other summer there. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to be able to do many study abroad programs including one to Australia and New Zealand when I was 12, one to France when I was 16 and then two more trips to France when I was 17 and again when I was 24.While living in Boston is great, I do get the urge to travel every now and then.. I call it the travel bug.. so periodically I'll do everything I can to get away for at least a weekend, even if it's just to Maine for skiing or to Montreal for a long weekend of fun with some friends.
