And so the journey continues

writing from the sydney airport, on my phone, boarding a flight to manila shortly and my phone seems to not be cooperating, so shall be a short post.

the past year has been amazing. last night was my farewell party with many

 goodbyes. this morning was especially hard as i said see ya to maya and geghis after they dropped me off at the airport, as they are among those that i became especially close with and i will miss them like family. it is emotional to think of all the people who opened up teir lives to me and let me in. 

while i did indeed come to sydney to try something new, i did not expext to make so many wonderful friends.

well, just about to board, as my adventure continues.
