In this assignment we had to plan a trip that would be over one of our college breaks. We could go anywhere as long as it wasn't on Maui. I chose to plan a trip to Thailand since I have seen a lot of bodybuilders living there. I chose to go with 2 other friends and I had to work out the logistics of the trip. How much would the hotel cost? Could we get back in time for our class in the morning?
I am most proud of my researching skills for this project. I am also proud of figuring out the logistics of how long things were going to take and how we would get there. I am usually not good at planning, but I think I did a good job with this. The most difficult part of completing this task was the logistics. It's hard to think about everything that your going to need. Could I really walk from this place to another place? How would I convert currency? Am I going to get scammed? These were the details that I had to know to plan a successful trip.
If I were to improve this work I would add more details about the flights. I had a good understanding of how things were going to go down but I didn't know all the details. I should have thought more about layovers and what we were going to need to go internationally. This relates to the past work we have been doing in Consumer Math. This class is about math life skills. We had been learning about budgeting for life previously, and this showed me how expensive travel can be and all the planning that comes with it. I can apply the knowledge from this project to any future trips that I take.
I think this project demonstrates global awareness because I was planning an international trip. I had to take into account the culture norms in Thailand. Planning and understanding how another country does things within my trip. I also know have a much better understanding of the culture and lifestyle of people in Thailand.
