As the time between me and Santiago decreases, I am getting more and more excited. The closer I get, the more I am able to figure out what specifically I am excited about. One of the things I am most excited about, the one that keeps coming back into my mind, is the food. I am so excited to eat and try new meals while on the trip. I have never really been able to experience a different cultures food. Even while in London, I wasn’t able to really able to be adventurous with the food, because fried fish is pretty much the same everywhere. Being so close to the Pacific as well as being in wine country, means I will be able to really indulge in great seafood and wine combinations. While at school, I never really have seafood, and I definitely don’t partake in high quality wine. This will be a new way for me to be adventurous.
This trip will be a very refreshing break from my time at school, which tends to devolve into a routine week by week. I can’t wait to be pushed out of my comfort zone and be able to experience new things.
I didn’t expect most of this blog post to be about food but I am pretty hungry so I guess it turned into that pretty quickly.
