A Trip to Norway
Although looking back on most of my trips feels like looking back at a different life, a different me - none embody this nostalgia quite like my trip to Norway. Fresh out of sophomore year, just a few months shy of being too old for student train passes, it felt in a way like saying good bye to my youth. It was my first time flying alone, my first time making plans on my own, and a first breath of practical independence. Although I have changed over the years, I will always look back fondly on this experience where I got to explore and learn a little about myself before the impending arrival of my twenties.

Bergen
Fun Fact: Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains, and every year, there is a race that goes up and down all of them. We took the easy route of using the gondolas.
