Four days left: Today I had to say goodbye to my family. I'm so glad I will be back home for Christmas and already looking forward to seeing all of them again.

"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us"

Six more days: I've been sorting out my whole room the past week and started packing today. Seriously, how is my life supposed to fit in a suitcase!? To be honest I was quite desperate at first but now I'm almost done - and very assuaged.

Only seven days left until I leave Germany to start my EVS (European Volunteer Service) in Denmark. Time passes by so fast! On the one hand I wish I would have some more time left and on the other hand I want the adventure to start right away.
