final thoughts....

just a quick summary...

So even tho I was only in Europe for 5 weeks, it seriously seemed like I was there for SO much longer. Looking back on all the things that I have seen and done these past 5 weeks... things that I never thought I´d ever be able to do in my lifetime, makes it seem like I was here forever. I´ll summarize the main aspects of each place...

London - Not going to lie... I fell in love with this place. Being there for 3 weeks, i was able to truly live in the city. I got to see so many wondeful things such as stonehenge, Bath city, castles and churches. I was able to go to Hillsong London not once but twiceee, and I met amazing ppl that i will never forget. Also, the study abroad experience was amazing. I met 24 of the most amazing ppl that i would have never met otherwise!

Scotland - bagpipes. I flippin love bagpipes!! they were everywhere! the ppl of scotland are truly some of the nicest and kindest ppl you will ever meet. The castles are aweosme. my favorite part about scotland tho was when we climbed up that mountain. it was soo amazing at the top and a true experience. Also scotland wasn´t planned at all and it was a spur of the moment thing. So it was more of an adventure if anything and that´s what I loved about it!

Paris - eiffle tower!! haha I coudln´t believe that I actually saw it. My favorite part of paris was the palace of versallis tho. The gardens in that place were just beautiful. To be honest tho, paris was the least favorite for me out of all the places we went to.

Florence - pure beauty. Firenze was less touristy as well which was a nice change actually. This place was soo beautiful and peaceful. I would encourage everyone to go there if you had the chance. I loved the food!! my favorite was seeing the david sculpture by michaelangelo himself. I even snuck a picture of it!

Rome - When in Rome... haha. Rome was by far one of my favorites! There was just soo much to see there and it was an AMAZING time. our hostel was great, and we instantly met awesome ppl! my experiences in rome are ones that i will truly neverforget. I never thought I´d see the vatican, coloseum or the trevi fountain. It was amazing to live in a city with things that were 2000yrs old and with things that are completely new. sooo completely different from the US. our oldest thing is like wat... 250 yrs old??? ahaha

Barcelona - also, one of my favorite places. such a chill and relax city! everyone here seems to be at a slower place, and not in such a hurry all the time. I really enjoyed that and it was extremely eye opening to me. The ppl here were all so nice and friendly as well. I loved lovedd the beach and loved playing volleyball! The night life here is amazing tho. but goes untill the sun comes up! hahah. ppl dont´start going out till 2am and then come home at like 6am or later! soooo crazy, but it was neat to experience it for a few days.LOL


overall, I loveddd this expereince. It truly has opened my eyes to the world around me. I realized how much Inever get to experience other cultures. beingin europe I was able to meet ppl from ALL over the world, it was just awesome. and when traveling ppl are so eager to meet you and get to know you, you make friends instantly. I now have friends from all over the world... and it´s awesome! I honestly encourage everyone to travel. It is an experience you will NEVER forget :)
