My Last Days

To say that my time here in Sweden is winding down is an understatement. I leave tomorrow and need to be in the airport in 12 hours.

But that being said, I've had a great end to my stay here, spent with friends and family.

On Sunday I was crazy enough to make a day trip to Gothenburg. Gothenburg is 2 hours north of Helsingborg and 4 hours west of Västerås. I took the first train there and the last train back and was therefore able to spend 6 hours at Liseberg. Liseberg is an amusement park in Gothenburg and my favorite, I think my brother would agree. Not only are there great rides, the park is filled with green spaces, statues, restaurants, and shops. It's more like Disney World in that sense, but without the lines! We had a great day there with nice weather too!

Otherwise I've spent a lot of time trying to get my suitcase under that 50 lb limit. I think I'll make it!

This may or may not be my last post. Can you believe that I've been gone a whole year?  315 days, 55 posts, and I'm still here. But I'm afraid that this blog has not been able to do this year justice, or that I've squeezed every last drop out of this experience.

So what's next for me? Senior year of high school, a first job, travel, college. Not really sure.

What I am sure of is that I want to thank each and every one of you for coming along with me on this crazy journey and giving me all the support that you have. I wouldn't have wanted to share it with anyone else.

Right now I feel emotionally stunted, excited, sad, and a little scared. It's such a jumble but I know that I've accomplished this. I've done it and now I get to focus on what's next. (but lets just focus on getting home first)

Thanks for everything guys, you are literally the best.

I'll end this story with a little saying from YFU, "Make the world your home"
