The 5th of September marked one year since I departed on this adventure. Looking back the first thing that is quite clear is that I am a terrible blogger! I've been wanting to post this since well... since September 5. But it's never too late, so let me take you through my thoughts on this one year anniversary.
My plan a year ago was to go on exchange to Paris and during that time rediscover my home while traveling around France and Europe as much as I could, I would then finish the year and spend all summer backpacking. As you all know that plan didn't quite work out, but that's the funny thing about life- it's unpredictable. I must say I've had one of the best years of my life. The ups and the downs have made me feel more accomplished and fulfilled than ever before, and if I can say that at 21 then I must be one lucky girl! I met some of the most incredible people and saw some of the most beautiful places, but what made it so extraordinary were those experiences you can't predict.
I want to thank my family, the new and old friends, and all strangers who made this experience one I will never forget :) And also you can be sure this won't be the last of my adventures!
ps. I've decided to now dedicate this blog to my travels and any other crazy adventure I find worthy of documenting! :)
