one year ago

This time last year I was at Heathrow airport, full of nerves, excitement, joy, expectations, fear of the unknown....but more than anything, just an incredible sense of freedom and satisfaction that I was finally going to do what I have wanted to do since I was a kid, which was to disconnect from the "real" world and go travelling on my own for a long period of time.

Some of the tickets which remind me of the experiences I had are now framed and up on my bedroom wall to remind me of just how amazing those 8 months were and how important it is to be brave in life and to follow your dreams. It was the best thing I have ever done, and feel a stronger, more confident and courageous and happier person now.

Here's to the next trip....x
