Woke up this morning super excited. Today is the day! (and by today i mean the start of the longest continual flying experience I will ever have). So I received a $2000 scholarship from STEP at Ohio State to study specific pieces of art. I will write about each one as I get to it. My itinerary is going to be a fun secret, but to start I am headed to Venice. To fit 3 & 1/2 weeks in Europe into a $2000 budget, it required a bit of creativity when buying flights. For $600 I am flying roundtrip out of Russia. The problem is that I don’t have a Russian Visa, so I can’t be in a Russian airport for more than 24 hours. It means that I end up flying from Cincinnati to Chicago to Dusseldorf to St. Petersburg to Chisinau to Venice, or more than 50 hours of continual travel. In the name of cheap! Let’s goooooo.
So right now I am in Chi-town writing this post on my laptop via a hotspot on my phone. Basically burning all my data now cause I ain’t going to be in the states for the rest of the month.
Not sure if the 747 will have wifi so we’ll see if another post will come with pictures.
godspeed.

Have a safe and exciting trip!
I must say you have mastered the art of creative financing! Those skills will serve you well on your STEP trip and even later on down the road. I hope the experience is everything you were hoping for and more.
Oh to be young again!
