Summer Trip
During the summer of 2022, my family and I flew to Norway to visit some family. We stopped in Lisbon, Portugal first for three days as our "tack-on" country. I loved Lisbon and the beautiful historical buildings that make the city so inviting and mysterious. We out into a small town to visit old estates and gardens which reminded me of Eve. I was fortunate enough to be in Lisbon at the same time as a friend from school so naturally, we united our families and spent a wonderful evening together.
After Portugal, we flew to Lillehammer and stayed with relatives in town. I love Lillehammer and I am glad that I am old enough to remember the landmarks and traditional places that we visit each year. My cousin took a train from Germany to join us for the week which was amazing and I loved traveling with her. As a family, we took many hikes and visited with friends. One of my best memories was climbing the ski jump that was used in the 1994 Winter Olympics.
I just received my new passport and I am thrilled to fill the pages with stamps and track my movement around the world. I also made sure my photo was acceptable enough because I anticipate that many people will see it this coming decade. However, I need to build enough courage to fly on my own and be able to navigate an airport without tailing my father.
