During the summer of 2017, I was selected to tour with the North Carolina Music Ambassadors. I traveled to England, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, and Germany with a concert band comprised of musicians from across the state. We played several concerts and also had time to tour the various different locations we visited.
Since I am a dual-citizen with New Zealand and have family there, I have traveled there a few times, however, the Europe tour provided me a completely unique and life changing experience. We immersed ourselves in the areas we visited and we lodged in non-tourist locations, to get a unique experience. The tour demonstrated how music can bring people of all backgrounds together.
