Hi! My name is Lucas and if your here, you know that I blog. What you may not know is: I love it. Being able to share my experience in dealing with a new culture, language, and food makes me unimaginably excited. I hope I'll be able to accurately convey what a beautiful opportunity CIEE, through the CBYX program (1 year abroad in Germany), has given me. But most of all, I hope my writing may convince at least one other person to take the substantial and certainly intimidating leap that I have. Cheers to that!
