Reposted When we heard Julia’s story, we wanted to make her day as special and memorable as possible.
miele "From a very young age, I always knew I would be going on a Contiki. Both my Mom and Dad went on Contiki’s throughout their 20’s and always told me how amazing Contiki trips were! My mom would explain to me that you get to see the world and meet so many people from different countries that you could become friends with for life.
My mom and I would always talk about how important travelling was, and my first plan post-university was going to be going on a Contiki. Unfortunately, my life took an unexpected turn in 2022 when my mom was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. Within less than 2 months of finding the cancer, my mom had passed away on May 10th, 2022.
Two years later today, I am now on my first Contiki trip celebrating the life of my mom, Barb Miele. My mom was a bright light and someone who loved to travel. Today, I visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome just like my mom did in 1990 on her Contiki. I also lit a candle for her in St. Peter’s Basilica to commemorate her amazing life.
As a community oriented person, my mom loved the fact that being a part of a Contiki trip provided her with a sense of community, not only during the trip, but also after with the friendships that continued to blossom when she got home. As I continue on my own Contiki adventure, I can truly say that I have also gained a sense of community through all the amazing friendships I have made and will continue to make on my trip 😊
I feel so extremely lucky and thankful that I am able to celebrate my mom’s life today doing something she loved and encouraged me to do my whole life- travelling." 🩶 ❤️
