Wanderlust is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or to travel and explore the world…according to Pinterest. This semester of International Media is taking us to Berlin and Munich. I can’t express how excited I am to be exploring a part of Europe for the first time. And thanks to Google Earth I have been attempting to get a glimpse of the landscape and country we will be going to tomorrow. Since finals have been over, I had to travel back to my hometown some six hours away from Pittsburgh to get my final preparations ready for tomorrow. I can’t be believe in less than 24 hours I will be at the airport ready to leave the country.
The semester had taught me much about how the media works in Germany. I will now get to see how it happens in real life with the opportunity to ask questions and to learn more. Each country has something unique and interesting to offer and I only hope that I become a better and smarter person for it.
One of the events I’m excited for is the day in Austria. I’m curious to see the similarities and differences between Germany and Austria and secretly I’m excited to use the train to get there! I think I’m just excited to walk down a street in Berlin or Munich to be honest: to see the streets filled with people and shops.
The past few days have been hectic with shopping, organizing, or just making sure I have everything. I’ve already had three nightmares where I lost my passport, my luggage was to big and couldn’t go, and I missed the flight. Right now I’m assuming that once I get to the airport my worries will be over, but right now I’m double checking everything to make sure nothing goes amiss before tomorrow.
So here’s to wanderlust and the promise of adventure!
