It's been two weeks since I hugged my Korean babies and said my good-byes. I can not even begin to describe how incredibly heartbreaking and rewarding it was at the end. I finally realized that I had made an impression. Teachers and children that I wouldn't have even imagined I had impacted in my 13 months were crying on my last day...it was an emotional whirlwind.
I had a little problem with my visa...basically, I was working and living illegally in Korea for the last week (thanks a lot Swaton), but immigration at the airport took care of everything...I think.
It seems like years instead of weeks since I left Korea and began my backpacking adventure in SE Asia. In the short span of time I've met amazing people from all over the world and have seen and experienced unbelievable beauty. My mind is constantly expanding, and I love the weariness and exiliration that only being on the move can bring.
I'm bringing this blog to an end, but plan to keep up my blogging on a new site:
Stiff Sideways Hugs
Thanks to everyone who has followed my journey and kept in contact this past year. Please know that I am so blessed and incredibly, unbelievably happy.
