The first month...

I have officially lived in Deutschland for over a month now. 

The feeling of success and happiness that reaches me each day is overwhelming. 

I have 100+ new friends on Facebook and have taken 1758 photos. 

Clubbing is fun.

I’m never going to change who I am. 

I am so very thankful for each moment I spend here.

Getting back in shape is just as hard in German as it is in English. 

... but track and field is always a good way to make friends. 

Getting homemade things and letters from home can make the happiest guy even more happy. 

I will be loved. 

Photography is my most powerful form of memory and communication. 

Night bike rides around the city are the best for practicing the singing of Disney songs. 

Getting a haircut isn’t always as easy as asking your mother for one, especially when a language barrier is involved. 

I love being happy. 

My limbo skills are internationally impressive. 

My journey will never end, now that it has begun.

I will make a global impact someday. 

So many good things can happen to you if you go out and grab life by the horns. I never want to stop meeting new people, discovering new cultures, listening to music, expressing myself, and being me. I’m incapable of describing in words my memories and overall experience thus far. Too much has happened for that, but luckily I’ll always have the photos to remind me to be proud of myself.
