I got to see so many beautiful places, made wonderful friends from several countries and continents, and was able to eat delicious foods from all around Europe. I was fortunate enough to travel to four different countries during the duration of my Sommer Deutschland trip: Germany, Poland, Holland, and Belgium. Although I had many wonderful experiences in these four countries, my lasting memory isn&#8217;t necessarily a positive one. When I traveled to Berlin, I stayed overnight in a hostel. When I woke up the next morning, I was very itchy and realized that my bed was infested with bed bugs. I&#8217;ve definitely never experienced anything like that before. My travels to Germany have always been very sheltered due to the fact that I&#8217;m always visiting with family whenever I&#8217;m there. However, this was my first trip to Germany during which I didn&#8217;t stay with family or people who could ensure that there wouldn&#8217;t be any travel mishaps. Although my bed bug bites were very painful, I&#8217;m almost glad that I had that experience. My friends and I had to check out of our hostel around midnight and find a new hotel in Berlin in the middle of the night, which is virtually impossible. It was a struggle, but we were able to do it. I feel like a seasoned traveler now, which is something I wasn&#8217;t able to say before. I&#8217;m so thankful to have been part of this trip, and it is definitely a summer that I won&#8217;t ever forget!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were so many great memories that I made during my four weeks in Germany that it&#8217;s very difficult for me to choose one.
