You guys, I can’t believe I made it this far without freaking out and crawling into a fetal position. Go me! The backpacking portion of my trip has now come to a close and I can’t even describe to you what an amazing experience this has been so far. Four weeks in four countries is definitely NOT recommended but I’m glad I got a condensed version of each place so I know what to expect for future travel. Who’s coming with me next time?! I’ve met some awesome people along the way but it sucks that our time together is always short and everyone ends up going their separate ways, sometimes without exchanging contact information or a last name. We can’t even be Facebook friends? Cue the single tear. I thought we had something.
I wanted to update this blog more often but I haven’t really had time or a chance to sort through all my photos. I’ll try and recap some adventures when I get a hold of a reliable computer. I start volunteering this Monday and I’m looking forward to start a whole new chapter in this whirlwind of a trip. It’s going by so quickly and I already miss it. If February was my “TreatYoSelf” tour, March is “Treat Others, Yo” tour. I’ll be living in Tacloban City, the capital of Leyte, a Southern province of the Philippines. I’m staying with a host family for a month and working as a media intern, documenting projects for a small non-profit organization called Volunteer for the Visayans.
Wish me luck!
