Elevator Speech

I had a lot of incredible experiences this summer. This was my first time ever leaving the country, and being fully immersed in a different culture. I was able to experience different forms of worship at a different cathedral each weekend. Studying engineering at the Technical University of Berlin and learning German from native German speakers was even more immersive. On the weekends we would go to cities around Germany, and spend the day exploring the city. This last week we were able to separate into smaller groups and travel around Europe. My group traveled to Munich and stayed for two days, staying at The Tent, which was a hostel that is famous for being very cheap and super hip. After that we went to Zurich, Switzerland for three days, and on one of those days we went to Schwanden, and climbed the Swiss Alps. On the way back to Berlin we stopped at Freiburg, Germany and got to see the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). Then we got back to Berlin and got to relax until we left for America.
