When I went on my Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia trip I got to see and learn about the world! Myself and other Girl Scouts earned this trip by selling over 6,000 boxes of cookies.

In Venice, Italy it was super cool to be able to ride in a gondola and see water all around. I’m from Arizona so it was such a different environment that I’m use to and it’s crazy to think that Venice is slowly sinking.

In Santorini, Greece I got to see the famous blue roofs and white houses. While in Athens, Greece I got to see the acropolis and the Parthenon. It was a really cool experience to be able to walk where so many others have walked before, for centuries.

I actually had never heard of Montenegro before this trip, so I was really excited to see what it was going to be like! And it was beautiful. Everywhere there was so scenic and it was so surreal. When I was there, we also got to take a boat ride where they showed us the blue cave and other land forms that were nearby. The whole time they were blasting party music, which made it even more fun!

In Croatia I got to see the sea organs. The music was so lovely and it was a really great thing to experience.
