Alright America, it’s time for us to fly back home to Germany. 🇺🇸🇩🇪 We can’t lie, we’re really, really sad to leave. What an incredible trip this has been. So many new experiences, so many places we’ve visited and so many amazing people we’ve met along the way. We’re just incredibly thankful that we even had the opportunity to do something like this. We know that being able to travel for this long is far from normal and we don’t take any of it for granted. This entire trip turned out to be even better than we could have ever imagined. We’ve been talking about how much we’d love to just keep traveling. Another few weeks on the road, Christmas in America, going to the College Football Playoffs. If we could, we’d do it without thinking twice. A few people have asked us whether it ever gets tiring. Driving for hours almost every day, constantly changing hotels and always being on the move. And the answer is: Not at all. Even after all these weeks, we were still just as excited about exploring this country as we were on day one. There wasn’t a single point where we felt like we’d had enough. We genuinely enjoyed every part of this adventure. We also really hope you guys enjoyed following along as much as we enjoyed sharing everything with you. Meeting so many of you at stadiums, on campuses and in random places across the country made this trip even more special. Those are memories we’ll never forget. And then there’s college football. What started as something we were simply curious about has turned into a sport we’ve completely fallen in love with. My two travel buddies are even seriously considering joining an American football team back in Hamburg now. One wants to become a kicker, the other a cornerback and start intercepting passes, haha. We’ll see how that goes. I don’t really know what else to say. These past weeks have just been incredible and I wish we could do it all over again. Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, helped us, showed us around, gave us recommendations or simply followed our journey. You made this trip even better than we could have ever imagined. Until next time, America! 🇺🇸❤️
