Hey Wilhelm9,

Your CV appears to be quite outstanding, and I think you’re strong academically (what’s your within school ranking?). I’ll most likely PM you to ask why you’re pursuing IR and why not Econs or something along that lines - I’m trying to understand how your activities support your interest in IR. As for the travel - 30+ countries is outstanding, but it really depends on why you traveled there and what you were doing there. You certainly don’t want to just come off as a rich, privileged kid who holidayed in multiple countries, but if you went and did social work in those countries, then I believe it’s worth a mention.
