One week left: What I want to take away from SAS

I am excited.
I am nervous.
I am tired.
I am ready!

My life has changed a lot over the past few months, but in many ways it has prepared me for an experience of which I can focus on myself.

What I want to take away from SAS:

A new look at other cultures
Travel knowledge
Self Discovery, maybe find a new passion
A new look on humans
Have exciting travel stories to tell
Meet some amazing new people
Take in everything new I learn
Stay away from technology (other than blog updates, schoolwork and family contacting)
Stay within my budget

and

Have a trip I will never forget

I decided that on top of bringing my purple rolling duffle I will bring my orange suitcase because attached is a small backpack which will be helpful for small trips!
Also bringing the green multi-day hiking backpack :)

8 days!

ONE MONTH

ONE MONTH, ONE MONTH, ONE MONTH. 
On this day in one month I will be flying to California to start my journey and go to Disneyland with my dad (the ship leaves the 9th, but I leave the 6th for Cali). 
ALSO my mom and a family friend is most likely meeting me in Europe after SAS (Almost official as of yesterday)! 
So much excitement :)

The idea that I am leaving so soon comforts me because I have literally been waiting a year for this trip.

ALSO
My Visas are paid for

soooooo

I only have to get my physical done, and I am off to see the world
