Traveling alone for the first time

 A month ago, I decided to travel alone for the first time in my life, my parents took this decision because they wanted me to visit my siblings that live in Germany. And they could not travel with me, cause they didn't wanted to take the risk of getting infected. 

To be honest, I was quite nervous of doing this, cause traveling now in time of Covid-19 is a lot more complicated, due to the biosecurity restrictions at the airport. I had to make a stopover in Amsterdam before arriving to my final destination, Frankfurt. I wasn't such a pleasant flight, because there were 2 kids and one baby on the same plane as mine. They were crying most of the time, so that wouldn't let me sleep nicely. But I tried to distract myself by watching movies or listening to music, and it was sort of helpful. Fortunately, in Amsterdam's airport it is easy to find your way around, so I didn't get lost. 

Then when I arrived to Frankfurt, my sister was waiting for me outside the airport. We took the train to Giessen, were her department is located. Everything went fine, but when we got home I felt very tired, so I went to sleep immediately. 

The situation in Germany was not that fine, there were more restrictions than in Ecuador, even though that the vaccination process was more advanced than here. All clothes stores were temporary closed, you could just practically go to the supermarket. But going out was indeed allowed, so me and my sister went almost everyday for a walk on the woods or the city, and it felt very nice. 

After one week, it was now time to visit my brothers that live in a city thats one hour far away from Giessen. I took the train again, but this time to Marburg, a really beautiful old city with a very interesting story. I stayed there for one week, and spent a really fun time with them. I would spend one week at my brothers' and the next week at my sister's, and so on.

After one month my vacations were over and it was sadly time to come back to Ecuador. But to conclude, I would just like to say, that it was a very nice and fun experience to spent alone just with my siblings, away from my parents for a little bit :). And I also learned to travel alone and to be more independent.
