Bonding with father

"It was good bonding time with my dad, getting to know our differences and what was seemingly so similar in our personalities on the surface, we have quite different personalities."

He also said that he managed to "gain insights" of life in the European countries, and even clarified some misconceptions he had of other cultures.

"Experiencing the highlights is an achievement that comes with advance [sic] planning and contingency plans in place," he added.
