Two people with a dream set out to see the world. Two people returned home changed & forever grateful of their new perspective. Two people who celebrate a bond forged by a unique journey - 5 Continents. 5 months.

I have no regrets from this trip. Only new beliefs. We can do so much with so little as I learned from so many people along the way. Traveling teaches you more than any classroom about yourself, about people, and about the realities of the world it awakens the souls and reminds you to live life everyday.
I am happy to have realized a dream I set out to conquer when I was 18 and even more thrilled that I was able to share it with someone I love dearly. I am thrilled that he worked to explore his own passions in medicine during our travels. I will forever cherish the memories made and I will forever hold dear to me the changes that occurred in my person.
