During my senior year of high school, I took it upon myself to coordinate large-scale group trips for my friends. These trips grew larger and more extravagant each trip. When I first started college the trips started to bring in a lot more unique attendees. The largest trip I planned had 32 attendees and a budget on its own of almost $10,000. This trip was an all-inclusive trip that included meals, transportation, housing, and some activities. $1,465 was spent on food for the trip and the meals were carefully calculated to accommodate all attendees.
The last trip I planned was a month long trip to Japan with 5 friends. Researching the flights daily for this trip inspired my idea of the Avian Air project.
