Hello

Well it's been 7 - not so long - months, and since I'm officially finished my trip, I think it's time to officially finish my precious blog too.

Well looking back in the last 7months, there's so many emotions running through my head; fear, happiness, acceptance, confusion, love, hate, regret, hope, excitment, frustration, anger, disappointment, comfort, uneasiness...
The list goes on...

I feel like I've changed a lot during my trip... I made a lot of mistakes, that I can only learn from. I lost a best friend, I found love, I found friendship... So I walk away from this experience with a mixture of loss and richness. I feel ( a bit) more sure of myself... and I'm excited about the future. I feel like travelling has put a new lease of life into me.

I've had so many good experiences on the trip, most of which I can look back at and laugh for hours. I've pushed myself past boundries that I never thought I could and I've learned a lot about myself along the way. Instead of shying away from things, I'll go out there and bite the bullet. Instead of letting my fears and anxieties rule my life, I'm trying to be more assertive and confident...

I've had a taste of the world and I liked it. Hopefully travel will be a big part of my future. I'm already trying to think of my next trip!

Next step, however, is University...
I wonder how easy it is to do a year of study abroad ;-)

Thanks to everyone who shared my travels with me -
love, kirsty xxx
