Pre-departure:
At The Wordclock at Alexanderplatz. If you look above my nose you can see “Kapstadt” (Cape Town) which was at approximately half past three. I had never organized my own overseas trip so this was a completely new experience, but it was a worthwhile learning experience. Make sure you apply for passport at least a month before you book your ticket. I luckily got my passport a day before the final day I was allowed to book my ticket so rather avoid such a hair-pulling stressful experience. When you apply for your visa, make sure you have all the documentation.

Pre-Departure:
The excitement I felt upon finding out that I had been chosen to attend the Humboldt Summer School programme was unparalleled, as a student of the German language I applied for this summer school because it was important for me to improve my speaking. And of course Berlin is not such a bad place itself. I was informed about my selection in the second week of April and I was sure that I wanted to travel before the summer school so I had to find flights immediately. One thing you must know is that flights to Europe increase around the end of June- July period so booking early is vital! I chose not to go the travel agent route as they are just an extra cost and if you plan well you can do everything yourself.
