Nostalgia Overcome

Here's me at Pisa

Last year I did a study abroad and lived in Italy for a couple months. I ran into my roommate who I lived with in Italy and it brought back all these memories of traveling.

Last year I almost spent the same amount of time in America as the time I spent out of it, so I had plenty to look back and remember. At first I became very nostalgic and wanted to be traveling and exploring new places again. It’s only been a couple months but I felt an itch to escape Provo and discover new places again. Then, I decided that looking back and remembering was fine but that I should not be spending all my time thinking on things of the past. I remembered that it is important to look forward and keep creating new, fun memories. There is still a lot in Utah that I do not know, so I do not necessarily have to travel the world to experience new things and places.

So now, I am planning camping trips with friends and am again looking forward to sticking around. Making the most out of wherever you are is something that I am going to work on and strive to do. You can create timeless memories anywhere so that’s what I’m going to do this summer.

Here's a quick video I took of some of the highlights of my trip.

  1. Looks like a fun trip! I love traveling too. I love experiencing new cultures, trying new foods and seeing different places. I hope to travel to many different countries as well. But, like you said, there is so much to be seen even just here in Utah. No matter where you are, great memories can be made. It's all in our attitudes.
