Explore. Dream. Discover

I started off my journey four months and 7 days ago.  January 6th, 2011 I hopped on a plane and arrived in Segovia, Spain.  I was so excited for my new experience.  The first blog I wrote had this quote in it: 

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"--Mark Twain

The day has finally come.  I am leaving tomorrow.  It is very bittersweet (as everyone in my group has been saying).  I am excited to start my three weeks of European travels to Italy (Cinque Terre, Venice, Rome & Naples), Germany (Cologne), Amsterdam & France (Paris), but I am really sad to be leaving this place that has become my second home. 


Second Home.
 I just want to thank everyone who helped make this trip happen.  Especially my parents.  I also want to thank the 28 other students who have become a family to me.  I would not have wanted to spend my study abroad experience with any other group. 


Family
So as I begin some new travels in Europe, I am ready to once again "Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds. Explore. Dream. Discover."

I am truely blessed.

Besos, xo
