experience."

.

.
- "Although I can honestly say that it has broadened my horizons and has given me the knowledge and courage to explore other parts of the world that I once thought were too difficult to travel in. I could now honestly see myself not just traveling to Asia again, but rather living there as well one day."
.
- "I have already been changed by this journey, I've taken a lot of what I saw to heart and it will always be a factor in shaping my sense of self."
