I traveled more than 912 kilometers (about 567 miles) to get from Karlsruhe to Brussels and back.
During my Fulbright program, the furthest I traveled was to Barcelona (1.195 km), but my trip to Brussels is the second furthest I have traveled.
I only took public transportation to travel to the seminar to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions produced by my trip. To travel from Karlsruhe to Brussels and back I took high-speed I.C.E. trains. Within the city of Brussels itself, I took the metro or buses or walked from place to place.
I had the opportunity to meet the U.S. ambassador to the E.U. and the U.S. ambassador to Belgium at the embassy of the United States to Belgium! The embassy also serves as the abassador to Belgium's residence. The building itself is about 100 years old.
