"When we travel with the eyes and ears of the God who sent us, we will see wonderful sights, hear wonderful sounds, meet wonderful people...and be happy to return home."
- Henri Nouwen

It's been an incredible year. So many relationships have been formed, and connections made around the world, and I feel so blessed to have experienced and seen so much. My life has been changed, and I have learned more than I ever could have expected. This trip blew away any expectations that I ever could have had.

I would like to take this time to thank Remy for being such a solid friend and companion. To be able to share such amazing experiences with such a friend was a blessing.

To everyone that has been reading this blog, you have encouraged me. Thanks. If you want to talk about travels and the world over a good cup of tea, I'm down for it.

"I want to repeat one word for you:
Leave.
Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."

Peace.
