Planning trips

So, my flatmates are in the kitchen nailing down their plans for Spring Break. I cannot wait, but have yet to finalize anything. There are so many places that I want to go, but other people want to go other places. I have already been to a lot of the places they want to visit. I want to go to more of Eastern Europe, while their main goals are the main attractions, like Rome and Paris. I've been and don't really want to go back to Paris. I would like to go back to Rome, though. I'm pretty sure that I would rather skip Paris and spend more time in Ireland. Then, after school is out I plan to go where I want. Next week, me and two other girls are planning to go to Germany to stay with my brother. That should be fun. He is only about two hours from the Swiss Alps and about four from Prague. I hope we get to hit both of those places. That would be amazing! My ideas for after school are to go to Istanbul, Belgium, The Netherlands, and maybe Spain. I would also really like to go to Ukraine, but am not sure if that will work out. I just love traveling and would really love to go everywhere! I know that is unrealistic, but a girl can dream, right!? I also need to get down to business on putting together my proposal for the Mueller Fellowship. I came up with a couple ideas last night. Here is the first. Basically, I would stay with my brother photographing his life in Germany. I think it would be cool to show the people back home and in Carlinville that someone from a small town in rural Illinois can make a life for himself in another country halfway across the world. Another idea, somewhat along the same lines is to photograph Alison and Stacey, my sisters, in their daily lives. Again, I would be showing people back home how two young women made lives for themselves outside the cornfields of Illinois. They are successful women and I think it would be really interesting for a lot of people to see what they have made of themselves. My other idea is to take a course at the International Center for Photography, advancing my photographic knowledge and skills. I also considered just travleing and taking photos of people in their natural habitats, specifically in Ukraine or Istanbul. If you are reading this, please take a few moments to give me some feedback on these ideas or suggestions. Thanks!
