After our 8 and half hour plane ride, we finally landed safely in Chicago’s O’Hare international airport. We were all exhausted and beginning to feel the jet leg snap in, and yet our bus was still an hour away. We came up with the brilliant idea of suitcase racing, this kept us entertained until the bus showed up. After that we all were safely on our way to the comfort of our own beds with memories that will forever stay with us.

This entire experience has made me realize my true love for traveling and experiencing different cultures. Traveling has always been a big part of my life, since my family was always going somewhere when I was growing up on some kind of business trip or family vacation. Going to a foreign country on my own without my family has made the entire experience even more exciting, and has helped me get out of my comfort zone and helped me make the decision to study abroad.
