Wow - we officially have 1 day left together. The past 9 weeks have flown past. Tomorrow we are heading back to Bangkok to finish our adventure together after Railay Beach.

Looking through our itinerary the first few days, it felt like today would never come. I was in a place I had never been before with people I had never met. I found the first week very challenging - I cried in a tent in the outskirts of Chiang Mai because I missed my bed (lol). Since then, my friends and I have pushed ourselves into our stretch and/or panic zone almost every day and we have individually become stronger, more independent individuals, and have become a cohesive unit.

On the third day of the trip, I downloaded a countdown app on my phone and plugged in March 26th - the day I go home. I checked the app religiously for about a week wondering why time was moving so slowly and wondering if I'd ever go home. I forgot about the app until I was writing this - 9 weeks has gone by in the blink of an eye - I almost can't believe it. Although I am ready to go back to having a permanent living space, I WILL miss not waking up to a group of 12 people who are always up for the adventure. We've done some crazy stuff and I'm so glad I've met every one of you.

xoxo Jen

An epic adventure!
