Hallo Welt! The time has come to finally get started on my blog for Germany. Starting in March I'll be spending 5 months in Europe on an exchange program between UMass Amherst and Uni Heidelberg. On my trip I hope to keep a running record of everything and anything I do there, from travel to classes, I'll hopefully be covering a wide range of topics to keep the blog flowing.
Just recently, meaning yesterday, I had my 20th birthday. A few friends got together and bought me one of the weirder joke gifts I'd ever received, a creepy Ken doll. Normally something like that would just end up missing in a room never to be seen again or even mentioned. This time, however, my creativity took hold. I've seen a million travel blogs in my time, and each time, they seem to be pretty similar. They consist of some stories about what somebody did in a country for a few days and some interesting things they saw and then that's basically it.
