all alone in cologne | my first time in germany!

pigeon flocks. hospitable strangers. cursed dolls. chocolate donuts. What more could you want from a city? This was my first time in Germany, my first time immersed in a 100% German-speaking environment, and although it was hard to get out of my comfort zone, it was freaking awesome. I get better at this every time I take a trip-- each step strengthens me, each missed bus humbles me, and every small thing makes it even more worth it. I hope you guys get to see this wonderful city with your own eyes someday, but for now, let me bring you along.

*p.s.: the MundoLingo event i mentioned was cancelled due to New Year's. crazy, right? time isn't a real concept
