Last Day in England: Brief Reflection









Sitting underneath a gigantic tree, attempting to start the critically acclaimed novel Twilight , I realized that today was going to be my last day in Europe. As I took a huge, deep breath of fresh England air I began to think back on my first arrival.
My first day in England, I was completely nervous...not knowing at all what to expect. I expected the worst...rather than getting my hopes high! I arrived into Oxford purely a tourist. I snapped hundreds of pictures...but after the first couple of days being a tourist, I realized that my main goal was to become apart of the city. I wanted to immerse myself in the culture. Soon enough, the streets became familiar and I was able to navigate the pristine streets of Oxford without assistance. I began to notice the insignificant things about Oxford. For instance, the fact that every house seemed to give off a sweet aroma of something fresh and natural. Flowers of all kinds were always in abundance.
In the end, it become super obvious how big the world is. I would love to travel more!! Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to in the future. I learned so much...and would love to learn more!
Thanks for following my blog...I'm going to post more random pictures later.
