Final Reflections

It is hard to put into words how much I learned and experienced in my CETS experience. I met 18 amazing friends that I grew incredibly close to over the course of this trip. I have never made friends so fast that I opened up to right away. Traveling through Europe is already an amazing opportunity, but doing it with a great group of people makes it so much more enjoyable.

            I learned so so much about the architecture, geography, and music of each city that I will never forget. With each experience was a learning opportunity, and it was great to try so many things that I most likely would never try if I hadn’t gone on this trip. The opportunity of seeing so many places in such a short amount of time is so unique, and I think this trip is so special in that way. The bonding that happens with traveling is unforgettable, and I appreciate the fact that I got this incredible opportunity!

            After this trip, I realized that traveling will always be a priority for me in my life. I think there are so many things to learn about yourself by getting out of your comfort zone and trying something new in a new location. Seeing these beautiful cities was so special and it made me want to see many more foreign areas. I will be back to Europe at least once again in my life, and I can’t wait to see more of the amazing country. Life is short, and why not see as much of the world as one possibly can? Europe has left a long lasting impression on me, and I can hardly wait to visit again in the near future!
