The Magic Kingdom holds so many memories for me from my time working there as a Disney College Program intern, specifically at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. Spending so much time in this iconic park meant I got to know every corner and experience it in a way most people don’t. It’s easy to see why this park is considered the quintessential Disney experience. Its magical, nostalgic atmosphere always felt special, and getting to try new restaurants was a huge treat. Even now, I look back on my Disney College Program with such fondness — it’s truly an unforgettable chapter in my life.

Colorado Springs became a memorable place for me during a summer internship, where I had time to really get to know the area. I loved having endless hiking trails and scenic spots to explore, all surrounded by views that were nothing short of breathtaking. Each weekend felt like an adventure, whether I was discovering a new trail or relaxing at a local café. Colorado Springs has a way of blending rugged outdoor experiences with a laid-back vibe that made my time there unforgettable.

Living in Orlando during my Disney College Program, I got to know Disney Springs like a local. From browsing unique shops to trying new treats and restaurants, I discovered something new every visit. Disney Springs has become a go-to spot for both relaxing and exploring, offering endless experiences and a great escape from the parks.

Nice is a cherished destination for me, where I enjoyed an unforgettable trip with my girlfriends. The perfect blend of city sightseeing, rich history, amazing food, wine and beachfront relaxation makes it an ideal getaway. The stunning natural landscapes and shared experiences created lasting memories.

Kauai holds a special place in my heart because of its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant food scene. The island offers endless adventure, from stunning beaches to scenic boat rides and the majestic Waimea Canyon. Visiting Kauai with friends last year was a blast, and we loved every moment exploring this amazing paradise.

Oxford is a meaningful destination for me because it’s where I studied abroad and first experienced England. I loved exploring the city’s history and charm, especially seeing Harry Potter filming locations in real life. Being a student at Oxford allowed me to experience the city like a local, giving me a unique connection to its culture and atmosphere.

New Mexico means a lot to me because I got to explore a brand-new state with my best friend during a month-long stay, fully diving into Southwestern culture for the first time. The mix of art, food and history made this a great place to spend extended time. The incredible mountain landscape made it even more memorable and allowed for unique outdoor experiences.

After two years in Dallas, I’ve really come to appreciate the city’s vibrant energy. There’s always something to do, from exploring new restaurants, to enjoying drinks with friends or attending local events. With the great weather in the fall and spring, it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy everything the city has to offer, making every weekend feel like an adventure.
