Have you ever tried to pack for three and a half months with only two large duffle bags? Well, let me tell you, it's a real hassle. I have sat down to pack at least five times and I only ended up actually starting to pack three of those times. The rest of the attempts ended in just looking at what needed to be done and then maybe some Netflix.
There is so much that needs to be considered when packing for this trip. If I forget something, I'm out of luck unless the campus store on the ship has what I need. I can't just go to the grocery store to restock when I run out of something. I have to have everything ahead of time.

Ever since I was in middle school, I have known that I would study abroad. However, I knew that I would go to a country where the main language was English. I was only half right. First let's start with what really set my mind on studying abroad.
When I was fifteen, I went to Germany and Denmark with my mom, step-dad, and sister. It was beautiful. The landscape, architecture, culture, everything. I loved it and felt right at home. I knew one day I would be back in Europe. Then, this past winter, I went on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman with my dad, step-mom, sister, and step-sisters. That was quite the experience. We were out in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. It certainly showed me the small space I take up in the world and that there is so much more to see. This trip is what really sparked my desire to travel the world. |
