I have a thirst for the unknown, and a thirst for the barely tasted. I want to travel. I want to see the world. Who doesn't, right?
This summer I went to Hungary on a missions trip to teach English to teenagers. It was a really great trip, and I hope to go back in the future. It was my first time out of the US, a day in England, a few in Buddapest, and a week at a camp in Eger. The new sights, sounds, smells, people, it all was so wonderful to take in. I smile thinking about it. I have so many fond memories.
Exploring a castle in Pest, meeting all the wonderful students at the camp, staying up past midnight laughing and talking, getting lost in London, eating fish and chips at a terrific restaurant in london, strolling along the river in Buddapest. There are so many wonderful things from that trip that I will never forget.
And that trip was just the beginning. As I hopped on trams and buses and trains and ran across busy streets the rush of it all was so exhilarating.
I want to go back. So badly. I hope that some summer in the not-so-distant future that I can go back, to the English Camp, for I miss those friends badly, and also to backpack around Europe. I know it's cliche, but I don't care. I want to lose myself in a new and exciting place, I want to live out of one backpack and love it, for a whole summer. I want to immerse myself in the languages and customs.
I have a great and terrible thirst for it.
