Hello! I'm Philip Miethke, a Computer Science Major at Mira Costa College and hopeful future Video Game developer. I've lived in California my whole life and have never had the opportunity to travel due to monetary stress, but have recently been given the chance to travel to Paris, France over the summer for a Study Abroad Program. However, even now, I find myself worried about being able to pay for the program and would like to see if any kind souls would help me.

If I managed to reach my goal, it would help pay for the program itself and my plane tickets & travel expenses, but also allow me to experience my first time overseas without worrying about every dollar. On top of that, all donations would help me visit my family in Norway, whom I plan to visit after my time in Paris and have not seen in over ten years. Any amount would be greatly appreciated!
