So this is where I'll be posting about my experiences in Hamburg this summer. I'll be abroad from June 1st until August 2nd, and I'm going to try and post a few times a week. Hopefully I'll be doing some traveling around Germany and Europe. A few goal destinations are

• Berlin
• Aachen
• Barcellona

We'll see what things bring. I'm very excited (and admittedly a little nervous) to get over there and live on my own, meet new people from all over the place, and pick up a little German!

Also, I'll likely be posting about some of what I'm learning in my research internship, as well as some musings as I am thinking and beginning to write my Fulbright application.

I guess that's it for now, still need to find housing, get all my stuff together, and buy a used camera and a decent travel pack, but that'll all get done next week and the week after.

I'll leave with a picture of Hamburg for now. 

Tschüs ("chuuss" = goodbye)!!
