Hi, my name is Julia. I was born and raised in Southern California and am a double major in Global Studies and German Studies at the University of Richmond. In January of 2023, I graduated high school early to go backpacking through Europe before I started college. I called that journey the “Scotland Safe Plan #4” and made this website to update friends and family along the way. While that time has passed and that trip has come to an end, I am still traveling often. On top of that, I am currently studying abroad at the University of Mannheim for the entire school year. Although this is a different version of the Scotland Safe Plan, my goal to share what my life abroad is like remains the same.
