Help Support Holden's Post-Graduation Adventure

I graduated from Cal Lutheran University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Entrepreneurship) and now I plan to see the world!

It has been a dream of mine to backpack through Europe, so two friends and I are setting out to do just that before I enter the working world. We’re starting in Glasgow, Scotland in Mid-May and making our way down to Rome where we will fly home at the end of July. I also get to spend some time with my Italian family in Tiarno, Italy.

I’ve worked really hard in college and waited tables at a beach club to earn spending money while I was in school and to save for this trip. I’m super grateful to my mom and dad for buying my plane ticket, to Nonno and Lala for getting my Eurail Pass, and my Uncle Marc for covering my accommodations in Paris as graduation gifts. I'm used to living on a tight budget, but after paying for all my other hostels, I don’t have a lot of extra cash (for food, museums, Metro tickets, etc.)

If you had considered sending me a graduation gift, I set up this GoFundMe to make it easy and so I can access funds while I’m on my trip. Every little bit will help me eat while I’m away!

I’m so grateful for all your love and support through the years and appreciate any help. I’ll send you a postcard!

Thank you.

Love, Holden
