“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”
John Muir

Tomorrow I begin a new adventure. I am driving half way across the country, moving all of my belongings to Colorado, to begin my graduate program in the fall. Going through various boxes, finding old ticket stubs from trains, buses or airplanes has brought back so many memories from the past two years of travel. I am so thankful for all of the experiences I have had--the good, the bad, and the ugly. Climbing some of the highest peaks in our country, attempting to sleep in boat docks on the boarder of Thailand and Cambodia, taking 15 teenagers to Las Vegas and expecting nothing to go wrong (the ugly). I am so happy to have met wonderful people that have inspired me, whether we have only shared a beer or spent weeks, months, even years together traveling states and countries. I look toward the future with excitement, ambition and a sense of wonder. Where will the next few years take me?
