When I left, I didn’t know any of them, I didn’t know any German, and I had hardly even been out of the country before. During these 15 weeks, I traveled to so many places I never thought I would ever go to, like Budapest, Prague, Greece, Paris, and Croatia. Traveling opened my eyes to many things, new foods, new languages, but most importantly, new people. Every place we went we were exposed to a new culture, where people saw the world in a different way than we did.
