Travelling around the world can be so adventurous. Getting to experience new cultures, lifestyles, and foods can allow your perception on a country to change. Taking a trip abroad can certainly have an impact on your life afterwards - for instance seeing the world differently or being more grateful for what you have. In the case of my teacher Miss Knight, she never thought that her travel experience to Eastern Europe would lead her to become the future Mrs. Croft.

As we drive down the street, fireworks burst above the illuminated Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ.  Sparkles of light brighten up the night sky.  Families walk towards the church, carrying branches.  We pull over and park on the side of the road.

As I step out into the cool winter air, I shiver inside my jacket.  There is no snow, but it is as cold as it will get here in Podgorica, Montenegro.  It is the Orthodox Christmas, the 7th of January.
