I want to spend these last days reflecting on my time here and all the great memories I made. I can’t seem to squeeze anything philosophical out, though – It just feels like any other day. 

Netherlands cuisine consists of potatoes, mushrooms, fried food, and dry rice. While it doesn’t sound too bad on paper, when you have no choice but these four categories every day for three months, it starts to piss you off.

I was simultaneously relieved I didn’t have to tend to other people and unable to shake the feeling that everything I did would be better with someone at my side.

I came here looking to immerse myself in the culture of all the different places I visit. Who is to say that fast food isn’t a part of the culture as much, if not more, than actual sit-down restaurants?

I find some comfort in knowing that everyone around me feels the same as I do when the lights come on and the music stops.

This weekend I went to the drowning city of Venice and, although beautiful, I couldn’t help but notice all the people who wanted to leave. 

I’d never felt more careless in my entire life, and careless and nudity are two words I never thought would exist in the same sentence.

Before this weekend I felt as though I needed to love each new country more than I love my home. That if I didn’t develop this deep-rooted connection to a place, I must not truly enjoy it.

If you remember me from last year, you might be wondering if I struck gold and have to find a new topic for my blog. Putting it simply…did I get laid this summer?
