Back Home

I've been home for almost two weeks now. Has anything changed?

Botswana and my brief stay in Namibia (by myself) were incredible. The people, the land, the animals, the culture, the music...everything. There were things that I am glad to come back to, like my family and friends, my laptop, the family cars, the variety of food, even the cold! But maybe something that has changed is that I'm no longer afraid of adventure or being on my own or traveling in general. There is a confidence that comes from having been in Africa with no one I knew before leaving, and then coming back having made friends and connected with literally hundreds of people in big and small ways alike. There may be a day when I wake up and don't think about Botswana, but I don't think it will be for a long while. And I want to go back, so stay posted.
