We are about a month away from our trip to Germany, and I couldn’t be more excited and nervous at the same time. These weeks leading up to the trip have been chaotic to say the least. As the semester comes to an end, reality is sinking in that in just a few weeks I will be travelling all over Europe. Not only will I be traveling with IPDS Germany, but I have decided to travel with family and on my own for a few weeks before the program. The thought of being away from home for about 5 weeks is scary, but I know the experience will be well worth it and it will help me advance my career. In these weeks leading up to the trip I will be closing on a house and getting married. Life is busy to say the least, but traveling Europe will be the adventure of a lifetime that I just can’t pass up. I have been to Europe before and I am looking forward to the new experiences I will have this time around. Having been before has helped me to prepare better for the culture shock that I experienced the last time. Traveling in countries where English is not the first language is difficult and can be stressful. This is what I worry about most during my trip. However, I am excited to spend time with locals and immerse myself in the culture and experience everything Germany (and other countries) has to offer. I hope to gain more cultural awareness during my time in Germany and advance my skills and knowledge as an educator. I can’t wait to share my experience with my family and friends!

AuthorHi my name is Kara! I’m 25 years old, and I live with my fiancé in Rochester, NY. I am currently working as a dental hygienist while I pursue my Masters Degree in Adult Education. In my free time I love to travel, I have been all over the world from Hawaii to Iceland. I am getting married this year and hoping to buy my first home with my soon to be husband. We both love the outdoors, hiking, kayaking...you name it. I’m looking forward to my summer in Europe. In addition to being in Germany, I have travel plans to visit London, Paris, Amsterdam, Belgium and Greece! ArchivesCategories |
