      I’ve been all over the US, the UK, and different parts of Europe for meetings, experiments, and other activities related to my job. I’ve even seen calls to go to scientific conferences in China and Africa, but I’m sadly too busy to head over there. 🙁

      Hey @747nch25!

      I am pretty much the same as Delma! I have been fortunate enough to visit the States, countries in Europe (Germany, France, Greece) and obviously the UK for different aspects of my job :p I have never been to Australia though – I am dying to go!

      hmm I have been to:
      Cologne and the European Astronaut Centre.
      All over the UK.
      Belgium – the beer is good – for when your older 😉
      France – dont eat the snails!
      Spain – chilled out!
      Greece – ancient 😛
      Italy – the pizza is amazing – you should go and try it!
      USA – amazing! They have the coolest space centre in Florida and you can go for tours around!

      FRED has also visiting Australia but I didn’t go because I think the spiders out there sound big and scary 😛

      Oh wow, I thought I had travelled a lot for my job but these guys have all done more than me 😀 It’s quite common for engineers and scientists, especially those working the space sector, to travel all over the place to share and learn knowledge. I love it when I get to go somewhere new as part of my job!
