Europe has it all!

This summer, I travelled to Europe and had the opportunity to visit 6 countries and learn about their culture and traditions. I travelled to the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, and Switzerland. Each of these countries are so close to each other but have very different weather, environment, culture, traditions, languages, and many more. From my experience, here is one thing from each country that I loved the most about it.


1. United Kingdom - London Eye

In the UK, my favorite place was the London Eye. The pier and the area around the London Eye is very entertaining and has really cool food trucks for people to try new food. There are also many restaurants throughout the coast with delicious types of seafood and different cuisines as well. To go from one part of the city to another, you have to cross a bridge known as Charing Cross. The view from the bridge is breathtaking with the ships going across the river. The London Eye is also a major part of this area and is my favorite place I visited in London. The view from the top of the London Eye is amazing and shows the entire city view.

2. Belgium - Center of Brussels

Brussels is a small city and there's not a lot happening in the city. The center of the city has many ancient palaces surrounding it. With many chocolate shops and meaningful buildings, you can view all the major parts of the city by standing in the city's center area. The palaces are extremely intricate and have so many details in the architecture. Each palace has a different structure and different story behind it. They are all even different colors based on who lived there and the story behind it.

3. Netherlands - Madurodam

In the Netherlands, we went to an exhibit called Madurodam. Madurodam is a tiny, mini city. Everything is doll-sized. From buildings to airports to cruises, the city was extremely detailed and fascinating.

4. Germany - Heidelberg

In Germany, Heidelberg was my favorite place mostly because of the view of the city. Everything in the city had flowers decorated everywhere with colorful walls and aesthetic decorations. Another aspect that added to the beauty of this town was that it was located on the coast so there was a view of the Rhine River and all the boats and river cruises going across. It definitely could've been a scene from a movie!

5. France - Eiffel Tower

I've always been a fan of the Eiffel Tower just by looking at it through pictures and hearing people talk about it. But, when I saw it in person, it was even more beautiful than I knew it as. It was definitely my favorite place in France because of the beauty it holds. It was extremely gorgeous, especially at night when the lights would be turned on. For 5 minutes, it would also illuminate with a fairy-tale type of lighting. The view from the top of the Eiffel Tower shows the city and all the cool architecture and layout of the city.

6. Switzerland - Mount Titlis

Throughout my entire Europe trip, Mount Titlis was definitely my favorite activity and place I visited. We went on a gondola up the mountain and were able to go almost more than 10,000 feet high. From the top of the mountain we were able to see Switzerland as a whole and were at the same elevation of clouds. It was definitely an experience I'll never forget. We also were able to tubing down the mountain which was super fun!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
