Off to another country.

It´s crazy how you can travel to other countries so easily here. But I´m sadly saying goodbye to Spain, it´s done me well, but now it´s time to say hello to Switzerland. Another long train ride. I don´t leave till 19:50 and get in at 5:30 am! Luckily I´m in a sleeper so I´ll get some sleep. It seems though that I can never get enough sleep. I´m not used to always being on the go like I am here. It´s also crazy to think that I´ve been traveling for a month. I have met so many people and had so many great experiences so far! I´m learning a lot about myself and how much I actually need people and who are the ones that mean the most to me.

Barcelona is beautiful! It took 14 hours to get here! I also stumbled across the Tour De France the other day on accident with these 4 other Americans. So I got to see Lance Armstrong, they were going fast! I couldn´t really see so I had to get on Travis´s shoulders, so I could get some sweet video! We were just trying to look for a movie theater because it was rainy and we came across it. It was crazy but awesome! How many people can say they saw the Tour De France?

I´ve also decided that I´m going to learn Spanish for real. I need to learn it, I hate the language barrier and being here I´ve picked up some stuff. I´m kind of glad to go to Switzerland because they speak more english though..

I´ll probably go see stuff for the last time before leaving. I always get this excited feeling when I´m leaving! Everyday is a new adventure. New people, new experieces, and new places. It´s amazing, nothing is ever a routine here. Back home you get in a routine way of doing things but here there is no way you can have a routine. I love it! It´s also crazy how the countries aren´t that far away but the cultures are so different. Someone asked me what my favorite place was and I couldn´t tell them. Every place is different and every place has it´s different highlights. I´m really glad I went alone on this trip though, I´m growing so much, and it´s so much easier to meet other people. People ask me if I´m lonely and no because I´m always with someone in hostels and all that..I still have not met anyone that is my age and doing what I´m doing though. Most people here think I´m older. They´re amazed when they found out how old I am and tell me I´m really mature for my age. Most people seem to think I´m in my 20´s. I think I´ve just grown a lot more mature on this trip as well. I´ve been journaling everything though! Every little detail because I never want to forget this experience!

Sometimes I miss home and having my own space though. But I would never change anything about this trip.

Love you all, miss you.
