I loved every second

I loved every second, and even when I was homesick, I was so grateful for the chance to be homesick, because that meant that I was doing something so cool. I loved the professors and learning from Icelanders, I loved my curious and silly peers, I loved exploring the city, I loved seeing the entire country with a mix of community and global influences, I loved feeling like a local, I loved the colors of the houses, the twinkle lights, the coffee, and the fog. I loved what we were learning and how I felt connected to my class. I loved hostel-hopping, I loved making my own dinners, I loved movie nights and hikes. I would go back in a heartbeat.
