My sincerest apologies for not posting in ages, the end of my sophomore year and the beginning of the summer holiday was a whirlwind of stressing over finals, traveling to Minneapolis for a week, and now, here I am, sitting in a hotel room in Stratford-upon-Avon. Yes, the place of Shakespeare’s birth. Yes, I am in England. Why, I’ve been in Europe for almost two weeks now in fact, and that’s what this post is to be dedicated to.
Traveling for me is not only just “fun”, it’s an incredible learning experience and there’s nothing that I love more than it. (Besides photography and skittles and a few other things). It’s not just about seeing the famous and touristy sites. For me, to experience a new culture and indulge in it is more worthwhile than sightseeing. Actually immersing oneself into the culture of the new place is such a brilliant experience, and all I want is to do it as often as I can. I’m so passionate about traveling and as I type I am struggling immensely to come up with the right word or sentence to describe my passion. I guess this will have to do. If you read all of that, you’re wonderful. If not, you’re still wonderful.
Allow me to entertain you with some photos (that remain mostly unedited) of my European adventure.
Arc du Triomphe, Paris
Fabulous street art in the heart of Paris
The beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral A different look at the Eiffel Tower
Gorgeous sunset over Omaha Beach, Normandy
Hopefully at least someone found these photos interesting to look at, wherever and whoever you are! If you’re hungry for more of my terribly exciting European adventure photos and notes, fear not! I plan to post a “Wanderlust Pt. 2” as soon as I physically can!
Goodnight/good morning/good afternoon to all of you lovely people. xoxo (And just a side note, I’m not sure if any of you are French speakers, but “c’est la vie” translates to “that’s life”).
