Post cancer Dream trip to Prague!
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Carl. I am from Connecticut but a few years ago, I travelled to China to teach. I ran into a rough patch two years into my teaching job in China. I was diagnosed with Stage 2bx Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of cancer. Immediatly after my recovery from cancer, I was diagnosed with lyme disease. Needless to say, it was not an easy time for me, and I won't even get into other issues! But I am past that and looking to take a trip to celebrate my victory over the beast that is cancer. Not being able to work for nearly a year, during chemo, obviously hurts that goal. But I would like to travel with a purpose.
This is what I mean: 1. It has been my dream to see Prague, that is my dream trip. 2. It is also my dream to get my CELTA, that is my purpose of travelling and how I will "travel with a purpose". I can see a city I have always wanted to see, and advance my career by taking a course that will help me to see the world. Even better is, that in the process, I will further put cancer in the rear view mirror. I have found other hobbies to make cancer a distant memory. As shown in the pic, I run. I am recovering from a sprained ankle but hope to pick that activity up again soon. Any way, I would love to see and live in Prague for the 4 or 5 weeks it takes to get the CELTA and see a little bit of Eastern Europe after the course is done. I want to travel with my gf who has been an amazing source of support in my post cancer recovery and help her to take a photography course, which is her passion, in Prague.
Any and all help is much appreciated and I would love to send photographs of my trip to any and all who are interested, especially ones that my gf takes as she is a great photographer!
All the best,
Carl
