As I sit in our hostel and pack my bag for Cambodia I am overcome. This is it. This is what I have been waiting for. This is one of the reasons I joined the race: Cambodia. I’ve told people for months how excited I am for this country. In a lot of ways it feels like I’m going home. I am returning. I am heading to a place that not only have I been before but I came with some of the people I love most in this world. And now I head in with a different family. This is the time. This is the moment. I’ve said for days that I feel deep in my soul that this is going to be a very big coming months for me. Up next Cambodia and after….Africa. I am entering the countries that mean the most for me. The places that I already know I will fall in love(or back in love)with. Central America was great. I loved it. But I wasn’t in love with Central America. I’d have probably loved Thailand more if I wasn’t in a hospital bed. And Malaysia has been such a changing month for me. But this, this is the time.
I’ve had several people ask me at debrief “What’s different about you?” I make a funny joke about me having straight hair for the first time in 5 months or that I’m wearing make-up but the truth is something is different. I’m not quite sure what it is, but I feel good. I feel healthy(not just physically but spiritually) I am in a new place I have never been before and I don’t mean Kaula Lumpur. Something big is on the way. And I have no idea what but I’m on this journey to find out.
