Epilogue


After exactly 100 days of being away from home and travelling this world, a wonderful chapter in my life is sadly coming a close. I have changed and grown so much as a person thanks to the people I’ve met and the experiences I’ve had throughout all 8 countries I visited. And I am so so thankful for everything. I know the opportunities I’ve had will affect everything I do in my future. I’ve learned countless things about myself, and the world around me, over this past semester and I know these incredible memories will live with me forever. 

You never realize how much home is home until you leave, but damn does it feel good to be home. I was worried about this semester coming to end, returning home, and quickly becoming stir-crazy and bored out of my mind. But I’m now realizing that there’s more to my favorite quote “this is an adventure.” When I left the United States 100 days ago I wasn’t starting my adventure, I was simply continuing the one I had been living my whole life. This is an adventure. Life is an adventure. And it always will be.
