THE AMAZON DOES EUROPE

Alright, alright. I warned you that it would be months until I wrote. So no apologies this time. I am sitting in a London flat belonging to my friend Holly, I have just finished one of the hardest and most rewarding experiences of my life. I have no idea what is going to come for me, but yet that all seems normal. It seems natural that I am to be here. Taking this job, moving my whole life was done on a whim, but also with the confidence that there was no other way. I am meant to be here, now.

The training trip was full of ups and downs and fantastic people that I can call some of my greatest friends. Living with complete strangers, going through strange cities in world-wind time, experiencing new food and culture and feelings in the pit of my stomach. Now, I sit and absorb for another week, only to go back out and do it all again, and again, with 45 more new people each time. I can only imagine the stories to come.

I am happy, I can say that. I spoke with both Andrew and Ana tonight, both still in Toronto, and although I miss home, I don't want to be there desperately. I need to be here, I need to live this story for a while. And what comes next I really don't know. Scary at times, but I have to remember that fate and faith will bring me through. Along with guts and determination, all of which I have acquired lately, who is this new woman, I don't know yet, but I do know she is feeling at home in my skin.

More updates to come my loves.
