Driving back to the site, my sister turned to me and said, “I’ve never set up a tent before. Do you know how to do it?” Thankfully I had set up a tent before, but it had been at least 6 years. Our dad said he “hoped we had all the pieces” to the tent we had. I was a bit nervous, but we managed to get our tent set up with no need to call someone over for assistance! I don’t even have a picture of the masterpiece that was our tent! What a shame! After the tent set up, it was time to chill and chat with our cousins. I hadn’t seen my cousins since the fall before I moved to Poland.
The thing about returning from overseas, at least when I returned from Spain in college and now from Poland, is that people want to know about your life and travels but not really. You’ve gone on this life-changing adventure, but no one else has. It can be awkward, and I’m never really sure how much detail people would like to hear when discussing my life abroad. I feel like maybe I didn’t share enough, but I didn’t want to be obnoxious about my life abroad.
