1. Hello!

Hello people, I've just started a new blog because I'm going to study abroad for a year! I'm going to the United States to study in a high school for the year. It's pretty exciting because I have never traveled outside of Europe and I have no contacts in the U.S. This'll also be my first time traveling alone so I'm nervous about that too.
 It also feels kind of weird finally traveling there because the only contact I have gotten to the States is almost solely pop-culture and I have difficult time believing that that's too close to actually living there, therefore I'm really interested how the life actually works there and what kind of people real Americans are. The presidential elections also will have people riled up and I want to follow up close what kind of chaos, if any, they will bring.

Here's a nice picture from the Rocky Mountains national park in Colorado

I will be spending my year in Colorado where I can admire the Rocky Mountains and the mile high city of Denver. Colorado as a state has always had my interest since I'm a long term fan of South Park. Also Colorado doesn't seem to be that popular like maybe California, Florida or New York but it isn't wholly unknown like maybe Iowa. Have you ever heard anybody being fired up about traveling to Iowa? Me neither. Also Colorado is supposed to have a own really good cuisine I'm thrilled to try. (250)
