As I board my plane, It’s time to say goodbye to Africa! Although I am sad, I know I will carry Africa with me as it will forever remain part of me.

This trip and experience has been soul changing! Africa has a superpower that is indescribable. It adjusts your vision and puts things into perspective. My priorities, my mindset and my soul have been touched on a level I can’t even explain.

The landscapes and the wildlife are far more than I’ve dreamed of and have a way of reminding me of my place in this world. The people, oh my heart, the people. The warmth of their smiles, the sincerity in their voices and the simplicity of the way they live. The children’s eyes that lit up jumping and waiving when they saw us! The love they have for their families and the willingness to do whatever it takes to support them is unlike anything I’ve experienced. The other travelers we met and shared with along the way. The endless cycle of life and death had a way of reconnecting me to this life that I have somehow separated myself from. Being in nature and experiencing it all, real, raw and untouched!

Thank you to everyone who enjoyed the journey with me. I had so many moments that brought me to tears. Thank you Africa for reminding me of my place in this world, for bringing me back to me and for allowing me to fall deeply in love with the world again! I needed this! We all do

I hope to continue my journey and return again and I hope I inspire others to visit the most magical place on earth!
