So I did a thing.<\/p>\n

On a whim I decided to go on a little trip.<\/p>\n

What was the biggest take away from this trip?\u00a0 ALWAYS fly first-ish class.\u00a0 If you’re going to be on a plane for 16 hours, shell out the extra cash to get the comfortable seats.
\nWhat was the coolest thing I learned from this trip?\u00a0 I like fish and chips.\u00a0 My travel partner ordered it and I decided to try a bite and I was hooked. I now kick myself for not ordering it the whole time I was in Ireland!
\nWhat was the plan time?\u00a0 None really. I did some research on where I was going and decided it would be better if I was just a passenger princess on the trip and that is what I did. It was the very first vacation where I didn’t have to plan anything.\u00a0 I put in my headphones and listened to Taylor Swift as we road tripped across a whole couple countries.
\nSo what’s next?\u00a0 Well, I want to go to Scotland, but this trip makes me want to see Italy now.\u00a0 I want to sit in the same places as Marcus Aurelius and his band of stoics hung out.\u00a0 I want to see the coliseums.\u00a0 On this trip I only got to see one, but there are more I want to see.<\/p>\n

This trip has rekindled my wanderlust.\u00a0 I loved being in a place where there were not many English translations and I was on my own for figuring shit out.\u00a0 The signs, the languages, the food was completely different.\u00a0 \u00a0Standing there listening to all the people speak a language I did not know was exhilarating.\u00a0 I must have googled a million different words when I was there. When I couldn’t figure out what it mean, I just made up a definition.
\nDon’t get me started on the cobblestone roads that progressively get more narrow as you try to navigate.\u00a0 I am writing a whole article on how Google Maps in the US is not the same in any other country.<\/p>\n
