11 months have come and gone and some days it's hard to believe I even did this crazy thing called the World Race. As I've begun the re-entry process, the most common question is, "Well, how was your trip?" What stories do I tell? How much do they really want to know? Can I adequately describe what it was like?
Here's my best effort at summing up 11 months overseas. I've included one picture from each month as well as a brief description of what we did in that location. Pictures are good but videos are better. I watched every single video clip I took over the last 11 months and edited it down to 4 minutes. So the best answer I can give some one when they ask, "How was your trip?" is "Here, watch this." I hope you enjoy it!
