The day of traveling was not fun. I traveled for just under 20 hours, including delays, inclement weather, waiting in line, and flight times. All the lines were extraordinarily long, and all of the flights were delayed for hours. Once back, I was tired but happy. The trip had run its course, and it ended when it should have. One more week and I would have been burnt out.
I felt like I really came a long way. Starting off the trip enthusiastically but clearly unaware of the troubles of traveling, how to deal with new cultures, how to safely find my way around, how to travel alone, or who any of the people on the trip were. I ended knowing the answers to all of the above, and I felt more mature as a result, with a few new friends as an added bonus. It was rewarding in a million ways, and I would go again in a heartbeat. With the skills I have learned, I feel like there is no place that I can’t travel to and find my way around safely and effectively.
Thank you Dr. Evans and Dr. Turkett for one hell of a summer experience.
