Until Next Time

I'm writing this last post from Singapore's airport. My flight left Manila this afternoon at 4:50 and I'm to arrive back home in Chicago tomorrow afternoon. It's unbelievable to think how fast the time went during my stay in the Philippines; it seems like just yesterday my family was dropping me off to start this adventure. And you know what? I have a feeling that I'll be repeating variations of that statement millions of times to come.

I've learned plenty of things this past year off of school. As a matter of fact, I would argue that travelling is the best way to learn. Not only does it push you out of your comfort zone and force you to become independent, but it does extraordinary things to your perspective of the world and of life in general. Plus, it serves as a great reminder of how fast time flies. However, I must warn you: travelling is addictive.

I'd like to thank my family and the amazing people I met in the Philippines for making my stay so memorable. I cherish the time I spent in the Philippines and yes, yes OF COURSE I'll be coming back. I can't wait to return & when I do...maybe, just maybe, I won't whine about the heat. As much.

And for those of you who followed (or even just casually read) my posts, thank you & I appreciate it haha.

So Philippines, this goodbye is only temporary. Just the end of one adventure and the beginning of another...




Antigua here I come!
