Having spent 77 days in the Unites States of American and lived at various hostels, some definitely better than others, in five cities across the country, I can do little else than say that it has been a remarkable journey for me, full of crazy, fantastic experiences but most importantly, full of wonderful, friendly people whom I will never forget.
And to me, the friends I've made over the course of my trip have definitely made great impressions on me, more than they themselves might think. I had expected to meet a lot of people, but this really surpassed any expectations I might have had. So, this is more than anything a tribute to them, and I have nothing more than great, great admiration for them.
So, how is my general impression after merely two and a half months in the Land of Opportunities? It is a strange, vast, wonderful, brilliant, terrible, creepy, capitalistic, funny, patriotic, beautiful place. It is impossible to find a single word that can perfectly sum up this country. But going here is like the start of a nasty habit because you impulsively want to go back to it.
However, I am looking forward to returning to Denmark and seeing all my family and friends again. I have longed to see them all again, yet it feels like I haven't been far from home due to the relative easiness of maintaining contact through the Internet. The only problem has been the time zones, but even that has been easy to overcome.
Now I have to pack my bags and leave. I do it with great ambivalence. I'll try to keep it short:
I really don't want to depart, but I really want to return.
Cheesy as well as tacky, wasn't it? But it's the God's honest truth.
Lastly, I want to thank all of my friends who have contributed to my great, wonderful trip. I love you, and I look forward to the day that ours paths will cross again. Thank you all for reading my blog, and the day I once more embark on another trip, I will likely continue my writings on this blog. Until that day, I wish you all well, and thank you very much for the support.
