Being home for a couple months has given me time to reflect on the whirlwind of an adventure we just had. It is really hard to believe that we had the amazing opportunity to do and see so much in the past year. The normal routine of life has set in, and I often find myself smiling at the memories of our trip. I have looked through all of our pictures many times, reread our old posts, and tried to relive every part of it, but sometimes it feels like all of it was a dream.
I’ve often thought about now that it’s all over would I do it again? And I have to say looking back on it, I absolutely would make the same decision. To pick up our lives and move to a small island in the middle of the ocean. To live out of a backpack for two and a half months. To push the limits of my comfort zone (which is pretty big to begin with). But at the same time, to learn things about myself that I otherwise would not have. To create these memories that are uniquely ours we can back on for the rest of our lives. To discover that the world is a lot smaller than we think, and that beauty can be found in the biggest city and the smallest village.
I would give the same advice to anyone. If you get the opportunity to live somewhere else, travel to a different place, explore new terrains, and learn about different cultures, DO IT! Don’t let fear, excuses, or judgment deter your chance for a new experience and to become the best you possible.
Thank you for following along with us for the past year. That is all I have for now, until our next adventure.
