Surrounded by my fellow sleeping travelers at, yes, 7:37 pm... I decided that I would write a quick blog. Not about traveling but the people and experiences I had whilst traveling.
I was lucky enough to get to spend this semester abroad. Everyone that I have talked to asks me, "why Wales?" To be honest, I really have no idea.What I do know is that if I had studied in Rome or Paris or Madrid or some quintessential European city, I would not have had an experience even close to what I had while in Swansea.
Over the past week I have had to say goodbye to more people that were wonderful friends that I ever have had to do before. I cannot say enough good things about my friends because to be honest they are what made this semester so wonderful. Of course the traveling was wonderful. The cities were beautiful, the museums grand, the art work amazing. But it was truly the people that made this trip.
I have had such a wonderful semester, and I said this the other day, but it really was the best of luck that I had which makes saying goodbye to all of them so difficult.
So, thank you parents and family and friends, for keeping up with me throughout this journey of a lifetime, literally.
There will be one more post about Nice and Southern France and then this blog will be adjourned for a while.
