Over Easter break, I embarked on my Great Easter Break Holiday (very creative name, I know). Easter break was the perfect time to kickstart my travels because it presented a bulk of uninterrupted free time to fill. With my passport in hand and backpack in tow, I left early one morning for my first stop - Munich.
It was rather exciting travelling solo. You can't depend on anyone to double-check your schedules or to compel you to be on time. There is no one to navigate a map with or to watch out for you on the train. The only person you can depend on is yourself - and I must say, it was quite a refreshing experience. That being said, I was only alone for a few hours until I met up with Maria, a German friend of mine who I lived with last summer in France! She's like the big sister I never had and it was so good to see her again. She brought me on my own personal tour of Munich, so we saw touristy bits but also local spots.

| Surfing in a canal at the English Gardens! I couldn't believe my eyes. |

| My friend, Maria! |
These were just but a few of the sites we saw. I really enjoyed taking a road off the beaten path and seeing lesser-known streets and buildings. But what warmed my heart even more was crossing paths again with a friend - a long time later - only to find that not much has changed except the lengths of your hair and the season you're in. x
