I, Mia Coats, am a seventeen-year-old junior passionate for travel and the study of sociology. I'm currently living in the state of Colorado. I'm a student intrigued by people's interactions and why they commit to the lifestyles of their choosing. I am an experienced traveler, having traveled to various US states as well as, the Bahamas, Mexico, and various European countries. With studies in sociology, psychology, biology and anatomy, I commenced in a research study throughout various European countries. I studied public transportation differences between the European countries of Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London and America. Using my French background I hoped that aside from enjoying the European cultures, I would be capable of exploring the relationship between transportation and the individual. Through determination and devotion, I also hoped to help create self-awareness amongst European individuals on their lifestyle choices and answer the question: How does public transportation affect the lives of people within various European countries?
