Thailand, we've had a good run.


Everything I have owned for the past 5 months is in a bag. I’m going home with at least double what I came with…so getting it all into bags was not an easy task, but it has successfully been done. My parents will be here in the morning, I just want to go to sleep now so that it comes faster. I’m so excited for them to be here. We will then enjoy a 12 day adventure together. Bangkok – Chiang Mai – Koh Samui. It will be fabulous, then we are on a plane back to the states. That thought still seems so surreal to me. I’m going home, but I feel like I’m leaving home as well. Thailand has become home, it’s going to be really bitter-sweet to leave. I have no doubt that I will be back here, probably sooner rather than later.

Thailand, we’ve had a good run. It’s been an indescribable experience, parts of which only those who were with me will ever really understand. I’ve met so many incredible people, and made some lifelong friends. I came here alone, but never for a second did I actually feel lonely. I’ve learned so much about life, culture, others and most importantly myself. I’ve grown and discovered so much in the past 5 months. Things didn’t always go perfectly, but looking back everything was perfect. I wouldn’t have changed a thing.
