Traveling to a Foreign Country on Your own: What I learned about myself
First let me preface this story by saying, this was not my first time out of the country. I had been to Europe and Costa Rica prior, but under supervision with structured timelines and rules. I was excited yet nervous to say the least. I decided to trek back to Europe again -- my dream destination! I bought my tickets and planned my trip and realized, with excitement and nerves that I would be doing this all by myself. Tips and tricks I can give to the person reading this who might want to be brave and try a trek like this by themselves too is, PLAN, PLAN, PLAN! Just because you are going on your own does not mean it is easier to just do whatever you want to do and go with the flow. Yes, you can have a little of that, but if you truly want to make the most out of your experience, plan out your goals. Where do you want to go while you’re there? How much time do you have for your trip? How much money do you have?, etc. It is important to ask yourself these questions so you can have the most optimal trip as possible. Personally, I really wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower which I so recommend and I wanted to go into a country I had not been to before, which happened to be Luxembourg. I decided to spend two weeks in Germany, see some friends and family living there and immerse myself in the culture as best as I could. If I could recommend a packing list, here it would be:

The Largest Sand Island in the World: Fraser Island
In my opinion, Fraser Island is the best place in the whole of Australia and you will agree with me if you like clear lakes, white sands and hurtling down a beach at 80 km/h in a Landrover. This was my first time driving on a beach and the feeling of swaying through the sands while dodging the waves was very surreal.

What Netflix Won't Tell You About Medellín, Colombia. Top Story - December 2019.
It's 3:54 AM on Tuesday 17th April. I'm sitting in Medellín's José María Córdova International Airport. I'm awaiting our flight back home, through Miami, quietly contemplating the last 30 days my family and I spent here. Like everyone else that I told in the weeks leading up to the trip, I too had my reservations about Colombia. My girlfriend suggested the trip as I was transitioning out of a job. It would be a good opportunity to change gears and figure out our next move. We'd take our three-year-old out of school for the rest of the term and check it out. It took some convincing from her, but I was eventually sold (she also had my credit card information, so all the chips were against me). My family and friends, not so much. Their comments ranged from:

Garlstatdt is located in the northern area of Germany between Bremen and Bremerhaven, close to Osterholz Scharmbeck. Mainz is centrally located about twenty five minutes north of Frankfurt by train.
