a.k.a. How to Piss Off Half a Hostel

1. Find a solid object that is close at hand (i.e. conditioner bottle, fist, doorknob)
2. Proceed to bang said object loudly and obnoxiously on any and all surfaces including but not limited to doors, walls, toilet paper holders...
3. Repeat Step 2 ad nosium, adding in special beats as desired
*Extra points given if done at/past midnight

Ya, maybe not the best of ideas. But hey, you do what you can when you walk into a bathroom and the doorknob instantly falls off. Here I am in Germany super tired after a day of gorgeous hiking to a castle and the best concert I've ever been to in my life and I'm sitting there using the broken doorknob to make as much noise as possible for a few hours. Someone finally complained and the hostel guy came in. He felt so bad that he gave me a heck of a lot of food which made it almost worth it in the end. Hey, take what you can get I guess.

Travelling is great! Love it. You meet so many interesting people along the way! But at the same time I'm ready to come home again. To be with my family, to feel at home and at ease, and to just have some friends! Downside of travelling alone, loneliness at points. Knowing that I'm never truly alone because God never leaves helps a whole lot, these past couple of weeks have been some good faith-growth time for sure. Hope you're all doing well and I'll see some of you soon! Kristina, Mo, Kelly, Braden, Ben, Michael--get ready for flying-attack-bear-suffocating-smothering hugs :]
