So here I am, sitting at the computer in the spare room in the UK. Yes I'm back home and everyone is asking the question, how does it feel? Well it feels weird, strange, like I've left a whole new life behind, one that I am missing like crazy.
When I left for Canada I didn't know what to expect, all I knew was that I wanted to travel, I needed to get away and discover another part of the world, discover a different side to myself. I never expected to come home wanting to move out there, I never expected to find someone that I would miss so much on my return.
People have asked me what it was like travelling alone, what the hostels were like and I can honestly say if you are considering such a trip then do it! Yes you are nervous, I was sick at the thought of entering somewhere on my own, but just push yourself, push yourself beyond your comfort zone and there is a whole new world waiting for you.
Within weeks I felt like a different person. You talk to people because you simply have to and the confidence you build is such an amazing feeling. Meeting people from all around the world is something that I will never forgot, and these people I hope will always be friends. Sure you get your fair share of... how do I put this? Not your type of people? But you will also meet amazing friends who are in the exact same situation as you and share memories that you will talk about in years to come.
This trip has started a huge new chapter in my life, one that I am so excited about. My plan was to stop this blog when I got home, but I'm going to keep it going, turn the page to the next chapter, the next story. Follow me in mission visa! it's going to be fun.
As I've said, I never believed in fairy tales, but maybe I should have all along...
