Packed and ready to go, I headed
downstairs to the lobby, dreaming of everything I want to do when I get home. I
already have it planned out: shower, sleep, fruit salad. Yes, I had my dad make
fruit salad for when I get home.
This
whole trip has been amazing and I can’t believe I have been able to experience
travelling to three different European cities. I’ve had so much fun and I’ve
learned valuable things along the way. The reality of my trip far exceeded my
expectations. The museums were incredible, the cultural immersion was
stimulating, and the memories were unforgettable. I would advise international
travel to anyone and everyone. I think it’s something that everyone should do
given they are provided the opportunity.
I’ve
had so many experiences on this trip, but I have to say my favorite thing was
going to the Louvre in Paris. The Louvre is an incredible museum, and there are
so many priceless works of art throughout the building. I wish I could have
stayed longer, but the time I spent in the Louvre was great. Seeing timeless
artwork in person is so mind-blowing. My other favorite experiences were going
to the Eiffel Tower, walking through the various parks in each city, and biking
through Rotterdam. I even enjoyed the metro system in Paris, even though it was
frustrating at first.
I
hope I get another chance to travel. Not too soon, though, I miss home enough
to where I want to stay settled in for a while before I travel again. This
experience has been eye-opening and life changing. Travelling with TnCIS has
been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my whole life.
