“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself." ~Maya Angelou
Wherever I go, I strive to feel at home. I attempt to learn simple phrases in the language, eat the indigenous food, dress in a low-key manner, and act as friendly as possible towards locals. I find it the best way to travel. Sticking out and looking like the "rude American" isn't the best way to approach a new location.
Regardless of my love for traveling and new cultures, I am ready to go back to the U.S. I miss being a native and in complete command of the culture, but much MUCH more than that, I miss the people I love. I could live anywhere in the world so long as I knew my loved ones would be nearby. They mean everything to me.
This is a picture of the garden square near the Brussels fine art museum. A fine ending to an outstanding trip!
I can't wait to see my loved ones. =)
