go to a foreign country

I have never left the United States in my entire life. I have always had an interest in other cultures. My family could never afford to go. If I could pick what country to travel to it would be somewhwre in Europe like Paris or London. Right now I would go anywhere out of the country. My mother is going on a buisness trip to somewhere in the Mediteranian in about a year. It is a possibility I can go. I just hope it happens.
