Coming home was probably the longest feeling day I have ever
encountered. Austin and I traveled for about 32 hours and it was terrible. We
got home around midnight and I figured I would sleep all day the next day but I
was up at about 7 in the morning and I was ready to go. I had no jet lag or
anything and it was great! I felt very odd coming back home… Of course I was
happy to see my family, but I felt some sort of sadness because I was no longer
living with my host mom. It made me feel so sad because I know she is now home
by herself. I would do anything just to go back and sit and have a meal with
her again. Now and then she will text me to tell me about the weather over
there and how she misses me. When she does this I get overwhelmed with sadness
all over again.
Germany was such an amazing experience that I am so
incredibly happy that took advantage of. It completely changed my view of the
world. Here in America it’s as if they want the rest of the world to look like
a terrible place. I had no desire to travel anywhere. I am so thankful that
Austin talked me into doing it. Now I want to go and see everything. I just recently
got back from Panama in Central America and it was also amazing. The people
were so friendly and they are so grateful for all that they have. I love that I
am getting the privilege to see different cultures and learn so much. Next year
I am hoping to visit Spain and maybe the Philippines. I love telling people
about all of our trips and different experiences and showing pictures. The
happiness is at an all time high whenever I see anything German in America. I
miss it so much. I wish I could just take my family and friends and move them
to Europe. Germany was that push that I needed so that I could get a little
taste and now traveling is my new addiction.
