Well, I’m very excited to be leaving for Germany
later today. This will be my second time
traveling to Europe and visiting Germany.
This first time that I went I was 16 years old on a high school
educational tour for two weeks. I was
very excited then, as well as I am now.
I expect Germany to be just as beautiful as it
was when I visited a couple of years ago.
I’m looking forward to visiting all of the different landmarks and
architecture, as well as, traveling to the various neighboring countries. It will definitely feel like a breath of
fresh air visiting places that I’ve never seen before.
I am a little anxious to be traveling,
however. I am definitely worried about
getting lost and not being able to find someone who speaks English. Which probably won’t happen because many
Europeans do speak English, I think. I
am also worried that when I get to Germany I will realize that I have forgotten
to pack something. Packing was
definitely a struggle for me. I
contemplated on fitting everything into a duffel bag, suitcase, and backpack,
and then I realized that I love to go shopping and that I would most likely
need some extra space for souvenirs, or extra clothes, that I may buy. I am also a little nervous that I will become
the girl from the movie “Taken” and my father, who is definitely not Liam
Neeson, will have to come and find me. I
don’t actually think I'll be taken though.
Even though I am a little nervous about traveling
abroad, I am definitely more excited than anything. I am excited to be in a new place with amazing
food and an amazing culture, and I am looking forward to learning about the history
of medicine in Germany. The one thing
that I am the most excited about is probably gaining some independence. I am an only child from a small town who was
raised in a very protective environment.
By being able to explore new places on my own and to be able to try new
things outside of my comfort zone, I will be able to gain a since of
independence while I am away. I can’t wait!
