Coming Home...

I can't believe the time has come for me to leave this unbelievable place...a bitter sweet feeling to say the least. We had a toast tonight to an incredible journey full of laughter and smiles. This place is indescribable...one of a kind...and I wouldn't have wanted to be here with anyone else but the people I have met along the way. From Raul to my core group of friends...people shape who you are...these people and this place have changed me...I have been able to see things through a bigger lens. I've been blinded for so long, living in my Elon, North Carolina bubble...where I'm comfortable...It's my home...However, I have another home now...Peru. I have seen so many things in the past 24 days that people long to see in a lifetime. What a beautiful place, what beautiful people. I hope I am meant to return here again someday, but if I'm not, I will always hold the memories I have made here...the memories that have shaped me, the people who I have grown to love and will love forever.

Thanks to all of you who have enjoyed this journey with me from afar. I hope I could share with you a small glimpse of this place with you, although words don't do this place justice. I love you all. Here's to Peru.
