Debbie Myers took the skies this summer and travelled to Europe for the first time, ticking off destinations such as London, Paris and Tuscany. The grandmother-of-four couldn't hold back the tears when she first touched down in Paris, after saving every penny she had. The 65-year-old, who works as a retail manager in Seattle, Washington, said: "There really are no words. It was magical and awe-inspiring. And since it was something I always wanted to do, I was emotionally shocked it finally happened. Now when I have a bad day, I go back to Instagram and watch our videos again!" Debbie's Europe trip has been a long time coming. She had wanted to head to the Continent, Italy in particularly, since as long as she can remember, but was convinced she would never be able to afford it. The grandma even once applied for jobs as a travel agent and flight attendant, just so she could travel to Europe. When the world came to a standstill during the pandemic, Debbie's daughter Shannon Galford decided that she would help her mum fund the trip of her dreams. Shannon, 34, said: "I love to travel and my mom has always wanted to go to Italy. No, really. Her whole life she has talked about going, but never thought she would be able to. I decided after my last trip that I would help make it happen so we started planning. With covid happening, it gave us time to plan and save." The two women started budgeted and decided to split the cost. Shannon and the rest of the family saved up for hotels and flights, so that her mom only had to save for food and a souvenir budget. It took two-and-a-half years for the family to gather the money to fund their two-and-a-half-week Euro tr){kind=link}
