The End

The time is here to go back home, and I don’t think any one wants to. We have so many memories here at the Chateau that its actually quite hard to let it go. I have new friends, new experiences, and even new skills. Although we are all getting ready to do our own traveling now, the Chateau has been our home for so long now that leaving it feels like leaving Atlanta gain. I have so many stories this Blog would probably explode....

I have been stuffed in a Berlin metro because it was too full, I have sang karaoke in 3 different languages, I have gotten lost in multiple cities, I have translated 2 jokes into French, I have new friends, I have improved my French, I have run out of money, I have found money, I have spent hours trying to book tickets, I have missed a train, I have walked for 10 plus hours in cities, I have mastered finding the "change language" button on all subway/metro ticket machines, but above it all... I finally came to Europe for en extended period of time.

I have always dreamed of living here for more than just your average 2 week vacation. My dad lived in Paris for a year and I got have a similar experience. There was tons of paperwork, appointments, and meeting but I made it. If your thinking about coming and the only thing stopping you is money, just go to the Financial Aid office and they will hook you up. There are MILLIONS of scholarships out there. If you really want it, I am sure you will find the money.

I will probably write on lat time after all my post-program travel. Till then, I leave you with all the pictures I have taken on this trip. The link is:

I want to thank Sven, Willi, Sophia, and everyone else from CEPA that made this an AMAZING TRIP! Wish me safe travels...
