I am finally home from Uruguay after a jam-packed and incredible 9 days! I experienced a lot of things and a lot of firsts. I experienced my first plane ride, tried so many new foods, and I made some incredible new friends and memories. Upon my arrival back to the states, I visited Raising Canes…

I was stressed for no reason. This place is beautiful! The 8hr flight was really not that bad and London is fantastic. I have been very exhausted, but the lack of sleep is totally worth it. The trains have been my favorite part so far. They ensure me that I am not in the U.S.…
