Almost to Portugal!!!!!!!!!

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote: to travel is to live.”
-Hans Christian Andersen

Today while walking around my floating home I came across the quote posted above. I have been reflecting on the last couple weeks and how lucky I am to be able to experience a variety of different cultures and countries while meeting extraordinary people along the way. I know how much of an opportunity this is and I know that I have been doing everything imaginable to get everything out of this experience I can. I have seen many beautiful sites that I didn't know even existed. I have gained knowledge in the world as well as learned things about myself I didn't know before. I have lived and learned more in the last few weeks than I would have ever thought possible!

For those who have not seen where I am living... I was able to capture this picture while I was in Antwerp, Belgium. I decided in December that I wanted to participate in Semester at Sea. And with a lot of work and dedication I was able to pull it off... of course I couldn't do it alone.. SO THANK YOU a million times over to everyone who supported me both financially and emotionally!! I truly appreciate each and every one of you!
