A Month in Spain!!!
Submitted by: Shari V
Calgary, ABThis summer I have changed! I'm a different 28 year old today then I was months ago! I have a passion to travel the world! A desire to only speak that which is positive, true and beautiful. A promise that I will never harbour any unhealthy thoughts. My life is beautiful!
I have always had this passion to travel – to see the world. I’ve been blessed to have see many wonderful sights! NYC, Disney Land and Disney World, however for the past 10 years I’ve wanted to travel to Europe. When I graduated high school, 10 years ago I had this dream to see Europe. Each summer, I would think “Hmmm, maybe this year” but it never happened. Until this summer!
On May 3, 2010 I made a dream board on my computer. I put pictures of castles, euros, an airplane and stamps in a passport. I said that I will see Germany, Spain, Italy and Greece. On June 5, 2010 I was offered to take 4 kids to Spain to a global friendship camp for the entire month of July. The best part of it was that my entire trip, including my spending money was all paid for! My $1700 airfare – paid in full!
I had the most amazing month in Spain – I got to see Madrid and Segovia and a beautiful little town! I also got to see castles, and cathedrals! Parks and fountains and indulged in delicious food and tapas!
Oh yeah, we had a 5 hour lay over in Frankfurt, Germany – even though I didn’t really see any sights in Germany, out of all the places that we could have had a layover in, it was Frankfurt, Germany. I don’t believe that was any coincidence!
I am living my dreams! I met amazing people at camp, and my camp BFF told me to “Live my dreams, not dream my life!” And that is exactly what I am doing!
