2 Years Abroad

The 4th of July will be a special day for me, probably for the rest of my life. Two years ago, on July 4th, I built up enough courage to fly to Germany, starting my adventure of living abroad. It seems like a whirlwind and its hard to believe it has already been that long!

I can still remember the feeling when my parents dropped me off at the airport, I was so emotional, not knowing when I would be back in the US and when I would see my parents again.  And having so many things changing all at once. I packed my life into one suitcase and a backpack-(really proud of that!!). 

Even though it took a while for me to feel comfortable here, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything else. I am happy I overcame my fears and doubts and followed my gut feeling that I was doing the right thing. Though I miss the people back in the states, I have successfully created a life for myself abroad, a life I can be proud of!
