If I had to narrow it down, I think as of right now, I’m most excited to get there and marvel at all the amazing architecture! Many people have told me that Prague is a beautiful city and I just can’t wait to see it for myself. Pictures can only show you so much, you know?

Saying Goodbye and Heading Back Home

This weekend, I will back in the United States. It’s a strange feeling, and it’s hard to fully grasp the idea of leaving Prague and returning home. My emotions are mixed. It doesn’t feel like I have been living here for almost four months. I have seen so much of Prague and explored places of Europe I never imagined I would have the chance to visit. I am so thankful for this experience. While part of me wants to stay and keep exploring, I miss home and am ready to return. While it is time for me to return home, I’m going to miss Prague.
