Preparing for an Adventure Abroad


"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page" -Saint Augustine
Three days left.
            I have only been out of the country once in my life, over 4 years ago, and I went with my whole family. Now I have the opportunity to travel to Europe for a study abroad program. In exactly three days I will be doing last minute errands and getting ready to board a flight to London. At this point, I have a million emotions running through my body and cannot begin to describe how excited I am for this experience. I will be mainly exploring ancient Greece and Rome! Ever since I was a little girl, sitting in the corner of the library reading English-Italian picture dictionaries and seeing the beautiful pictures of Rome; I have always wanted to be a part of a land full of culture. As I got older and gained a fascination with Greek mythology, then I added Greece to my list of places I must visit. While I am abroad, I will try to update my blog with the highlights of my trip as often as possible J This will be an interesting journey and I hope to be detailed and honest enough to help you feel as if you were right there with me.
            As of now, I am just getting myself prepared for the flight there and since I know a special someone will be meeting me at the airport my nerves are not as bad as they were earlier in the week. I just have to remember to bring my camera to document every moment.
