The more I think about my time abroad and all the work that had to be done to get here, I really have no regrets. Being abroad can be one of the most uncomfortable, challenging and expensive experiences you could ever ask for. Your in a new country, a new culture among things and people you've never known. For most your alone, without anyone you know and far from those you love. The money looks different. And even those things that are familiar to you have new names and different meanings.
As cliche as it may be, this has been life changing, in so many ways.
But as I look forward to my last week here I never want to go back to the familiar and the comfortable. Traveling and having new experiences is the most exhilarating and fulfilling feeling. I'm off to Amsterdam in a matter of hours and while it wasn't my number one travel destination while abroad, it's yet another one I'm excited to experience. Plus everyone says Amsterdam is a must while in Europe and who am I to argue with everyone.
