Interviewing Western students on their dream travel destinations<\/em><\/p>\n

Sarah Austin<\/strong> | Lifestyle Editor<\/span><\/p>\n

With COVID-19 limiting travel for many, \u201cThe Western Howl\u201d set out to create a piece where we ask students their travel dreams. In between classes, I caught Western senior Bailey Schafer, an education major, to ask her about her dream destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you could leave tomorrow and go anywhere, where would you go?<\/b><\/p>\n

Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Have you been there before?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes. I\u2019ve been there twice. First when I was 11 and the next (when) I was 17.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That must be a long flight.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah. It\u2019s like 16 to 18 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do you do for that long in a plane?<\/b><\/p>\n

Sleep mostly or read. If it’s a nice plane I’ll watch a movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What factors (cuisine, architecture, natural beauty, nightlife) draw you there?<\/b><\/p>\n

I have family there, it\u2019s really beautiful. There (are) a lot of landmarks to visit too.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What key things would you do while there?<\/b><\/p>\n

Visit The Giant’s Causeway and the Cliffs of Moher.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where would you go to eat?<\/b><\/p>\n

There’s a cafe I really like called Java Republic. My uncle owns it, it’s like the Dutch Bros of Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What barriers keep you from actually going?<\/b><\/p>\n

Money and being able to take time off of school and work.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since you’ve been there before, how much would you say it cost to go?<\/b><\/p>\n

A few grand. I stay with family so I save there and with food but it’s really the plane tickets that are expensive. Traveling by bus there is cheap too.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you were able to take time off work and school with your current financial resources, realistically where would you go?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I would go to California to visit my best friend! She lives in San Bernardino.<\/span><\/p>\n
