Lessons from traveling abroad: one year ago today

One year ago today I boarded a plane with my best friend and flew to Romania for my first trip to Europe.  When I look back over my time there, I think of all the lessons I learned which I didn't share at the time.  Sometimes I was too embarrassed to tell anyone, sometimes I didn't want to worry my mom, and sometimes it just took a while before I could put what I learned into words.  Now that I'm a year out I've had plenty of time to process the events, so I'm starting a new series called "Lessons from traveling abroad: One year ago today."

Tomorrow I'll talk about how your ability to use Google Maps in the US will have very little impact on your ability to use them in Europe.
