Fin de mi Viaje

As I leave South America, back to my country, back to the streets i know so well, and the people I love, I am bombarded by a mix of thoughts and emotions. This trip has been an unforgettable, exhilarating, and at times exhausting, experience. It is difficult to transform my contentment and personal successes into words. I have learned to look at the world differently, appreciate aspects I just learned existed, and abstract lessons and wisdom that the great teacher of experience has to offer. I met some incredible people and some very miserable people. I communicated with people from all over the world and realized, after breaking down language barriers, how much we really have in common.

In a way, the end of my trip feels like a small death, but it is also the start of a new life. The next chapter is beginning... I just hope I can go forward with the same spirit and optimism I have gained in the past 8 months. If you are having doubts about wanting to travel, or are just waiting around for "something"... stop waiting. Take the leap and don't look back. Life is too short to wait for opportunities. Make the opportunities and abundance follows...
