The article, “Keats & Coffee in Rome” by Christine R. is very well written. Being a lover of travel, I really appreciated this piece. I can relate to Christine's experience of feeling rush, rush, rush all the time and “constantly hurrying to finish something or get somewhere.” It's wonderful she got to have a spectacular adventure and a break from academics all in one.

Right now I'm not in high school and not really in a position to go on a major trip, but when the opportunity arises, I'm all for it! I'm also somewhat shy, and I really want to say thank you for this exciting and inspiring article. One day I hope to have an adventure like hers.
