Aubrey took her first plane ride at the age of four months and has been traveling ever since. Family vacations have taken her to Fiji, Denmark, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Holland.
World Youth Day saw her embark to the Netherlands, Italy (her favorite town was Assisi), and Germany (where she spent one frozen night camping in the Marienfeld with 1 million other youth from around the world).
During her time studying abroad in 2009, she made the most of living in London, and used Heathrow Airport and the trains as her launching points to Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Turkey, and France. During her sojourn abroad, Aubrey documented her travels and insights in a travel blog entitled "Aubrey Wanderings."
A month after graduating from LMU, Aubrey set off on a solitary adventure to Greece, where she lived in an apartment in Eleusina, a suburb of Athens, where she spent time interning for the Initiative for Heritage Conservancy (IHC). Her favorite pastime was taking the KTel bus into Athens and exploring the ancient city, and even made her way up the coast to the northern Byzantine city of Thessaloniki.
The following summer, Aubrey once again jetted off for Eleusina, this time to take part in a summer graduate session focused on the digitization of the ancient site of Eleusis using high definition 3D laser scanning technology. Once again she set off on exploration through Greece, spending more time in Athens and branching out to the greater Peloponnese and the islands.
Travel is a vital facet in Aubrey's education: Through travel, she finds links with people the world over that she would find in no other way. Whether by plane, train, car, or on foot, she seeks every opportunity to discover new horizons.
