Hey hey,
I'm hoping somebody can answer my question. I'm currently on a 5 month backpacking trip and am having a great time. The time of my life actually. It was never my intention to 'go find myself' or anything like that...I just wanted to explore as many different cultures as I could. Many youth hostel conversations later I find myself a much different person. By the trips end I think I'll have visited 21 countries or so...3 different continents.

My question is....where do I put this on my application? It seems too significant to leave out. It literally has been one of the highlights of my life. I centered my personal statement around it and another topic related to dentistry. Wish there was a spot on the actual app though. I would feel cheesy putting it in the extracurricular section.

Let me know what you guys think. Cheers!

Man, I don't remember AADSAS questions all that well... but isn't there a hobbies section? You might be able to put it there.
 
personal statement +1.

I'm using my travel experiences on it.
