Study Abroad is... OVER???

After a whirlwind of adventures, new friendships, and a minimal amount of actual studying, my grand study abroad adventure is officially OVER! How do I feel? Well it's hard to say... I'm definitely sad that I can no longer call Greece my home, and I would be lying if I said I won't miss my weekend trips to new countries, but I'm also super excited for all the memories I have yet to create. I can confidently say that I've caught the travel bug and can't wait to start planning my upcoming trips!

I've already been overwhelmingly blessed with a lifetime full of amazing experiences in my short 20 years, and I cannot thank God enough for this life He's allowing me to live. One verse that I started out my 8 months of travel with and now am ending it with is Joshua 1:9 - "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." I find so much comfort in this one truth, and I full heartedly believe my God will be right there with me through all the adventures of my life, not just this one. I can't wait to see what else He has in store for me!

Thanks again to everyone who's kept in touch with me while I was away, it's really meant a lot. And a huge shoutout to my parents who have supported and encouraged me from beginning to end. I hope you've all enjoyed my pictures and stories of my travels and adventures. And if you didn't, I'm sad to inform you that I have a ton more to post in the future! I am also in the process of working on a video to recap my trip, but that one might take a while being the perfectionist I am. In the meantime, I hope to catch up on some blog posts that I didn't get around to sharing with you in the height of my travels.

Now to find a job, hopefully grow my photography business, and finally catch up on editing, organizing, and posting pictures. Wish me luck!
