On my way

I am scared. It sounds kind of weird. Maybe not what anyone was expecting. Not even myself. I have traveled quite a bit throughout my years and have learned a lot about other cultures and languages. I have lived with an Italian and French family. However, the idea of living an entire year abroad (starting co-op in Germany) is scary. Plain and simple. I am originally from a little island called San Juan, Puerto Rico. I have spent most of my summer just working in Indiana. I got to my home country a couple days ago and I am still internalizing the fact that I will continue to leave my little island behind. This weekend I had my farewell and all of my friends are still in awe of the opportunity I have had the chance to have. Working in Germany. It is kind of crazy. I know deep down that this was just a decision I wanted to make. And although I am still not in Germany and cannot share anything just yet, please stay in tune to know what I will do. I think one of the most important parts of traveling is sharing those experiences with people that are thinking of doing the same. I was still unsure of going abroad for a long time but this type of post where I can feel the fear and understand that it is normal and part of the experience makes me realize it is all a process. A process I am still going through. One can never be ready for such an experience and I cannot wait to share with all of you what happens.
