I would have never believed that 2 weeks would have gone by so quickly. Nele and her family have made this experiance so exciting and welcoming that I feel like Germany is my second home. When I started German, I would have never thought that I would get this oppertunity to come visit.
I don't think anyone could have been a better partner for me than Nele. After living together for a month in both America and Germany, Nele is a part of my family. My second home is in Berlin.
 I've learned how how to navigate a big city and say weird German words I'll probably never have a need for...  We've seen big places like the Fernsehturm and little places like the building that was in Captain America 3 (which we also saw). We sang in the streets and at home. I enjoyed having tea with my German father and talking to my German mother. Max, my German brother, took me to get my first döner. I'm going to miss them all greatly. Nele is truly my sister and her family is mine.
I'm going to miss her and the rest of our #squad until we meet again (because I have to come back). There was too much to see in just two weeks that I didn't even scratch the surface.
This has been one of the coolest and best things I've done in my life. I'm not ready to go home.

Berlin, Ich liebe dich. <3
