In the Beginning


Ready to board our first flight from KC to Chicago

Roland Gau said “If at some point you don’t ask yourself, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ then you’re not doing it right.

There I was waiting for my flight to Brussels, thinking to myself, “What have I gotten myself into?” Eight months ago I signed up for studying abroad, knowing it would be a completely new experience. I was going to miss my friends and family at home, but I was also eager to see what new adventures lie ahead. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone, learn new things, be in an unfamiliar territory, and make new friends.


While you read this blog, keep in mind that my trip is more than learning about the Netherlands, seeing sites, and trying good beer. It’s also about getting this small town country boy out of his comfort zone, learning about himself, and growing into a stronger person.
