Although my experience was cut short, I still had an amazing and eye opening experience in London and traveling around Europe. My original fear of being away from home for so long ended up not being much of a challenge, I did miss my family and friends but the experience was so enriching that I did my best to enjoy my time there. I ended up loving the food, I missed my favorite restaurants in the United States but I found new versions of them in the UK and also learned to appreciate their food even though it was different than I am used to. I had the opportunity to travel to 8 countries during my short time studying abroad. I learned a lot of new words in new languages and I learned different sayings from England. I did my best to immerse myself into the culture and live like a true Londoner, I think for the time I was given I did my best to fully embrace it. Through traveling and living in another country I feel like I went through some life changing experiences and have developed a global perspective.
