A wise man once said, “Life isn’t about the destination, but
instead is about the journey.” I was recently reminded of this in a short
letter from my mother. In this case, perhaps life is about the journey, as well
as, the (geographical) destination. If you would have asked me about what I
would be doing after graduating from college, I never would have thought, in a
million years, that I would be working in Germany, halfway across the world, for
thirteen months.
In college, the ultimate goal is to land a decent job,
usually in the United States. I took a different route, for better or for
worse, applying to work at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort on a U.S. military
base in Garmisch, Germany. Although this is not the typical route to take, it
was the only route that I was genuinely excited about and actively pursued
during my senior year of college.
In this blog, I plan to record my adventures while living
abroad in Europe, and allow my family and friends to follow and share in my
unique opportunity that I am taking part in. I hope to live in the moment and
enjoy this wonderful journey that I am on and so fortunate to have.
