from across the pond

so this is my first post from the other side of the Atlantic..kinda crazy if you ask me. As my 6 week stay here is beginning to wind down (literally only a week and a half left) I am almost more sad to leave. In the past six weeks I have:

• made 30 new best friends that I will never forget and who will always have a special place in my heart
• eaten an unhealthy amount of doner..which for you Americans reading this, IS INCREDIBLE. kinda sketch..but oh so good
• walked probably 12938462376912356 miles
• lived without AirConditioning which I never thought I could do
• stayed out until the middle of the night with people from all over the world
• stayed in my first semi-sketch hostel
• spent way too much time in a charter bus
• been yelled at by hotel staff on more than one occasion
• washed my laundry in a bathtub
• visited some of the best cities in the world
• and finally, I CROSSED THE DAMN OCEAN. sounds babyish but I've never done it before so I was pretty stoked

This has been one wild ride and I have loved every second of it. For the things have gone wrong: I have learned to bitch about it for 5 minutes then shut up and just take it with a grain of salt. This place really has changed my life. I guess sometimes in order to clear you head and get a better look at yourself and where you are, you just gotta go.. Take that little leap of faith and just go for your dreams. Don't worry about leaving things behind because I have learned that the important things will either come along with you or be there waiting for you to return. That's precisely the reason a piece of my heart will be here forever, because I'll be back someday. I promise. But for now I will focus on relaxing and enjoying spending time with the people I love most...and travelling to Alaska in a little over a month (no big deal hahaha).

peace&love

here is just a little video of a song that I personally love..
