My emotions lie between full on excitement and nervousness, as I patiently await my departure. The idea of leaving what I call home and living in a foreign country for four months has a gazillion questions popping up in my head. "What am I going to do as soon as I get there? How do I get to my hostel? And OMG what if I get lost!?" The fact of not having signal by far makes my journey a lot tougher, because let’s be real, I'm a millennial... I use my phone for EVERYTHING. Nevertheless, I am eager to begin my journey and grow as an individual by stepping out of my comfort zone. Pushing myself to try new things and striving for new challenges has always been a routine in my life. As of today, I can truly say I have never put myself in a situation that will be this challenging. Life is about learning, growing, and achieving and that is exactly what I plan to do. Saying goodbye to my loved ones was a lot harder than I anticipated, giving the last hug good-bye and seeing my final glimpse of my family definitely left me a little teary eyed. I cannot describe how proud and thankful I am to have such a great support system in my life. This isn't just my accomplishment, it's theirs as well. I will miss each and every one of you, and I’ll be back as soon as you know it. This following week I will be touring through Italy with stops in Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Sorrento and Capri! I am ecstatic to dive right in and grasp onto Italia’s rich culture! Italy has definitely topped my list for countries I am most excited to visit. Their fascinating Roman and Neoclassical architecture is one who has inspired my destinations. From the Colosseum in Rome to the Cathedrals in Florence, Italy is full of what the eye can see!
See you soon Italia! -Ricardo
