“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.

Travel is hard. Travel makes you miss home. Travel makes you miss your family, your friends, you comfortability and even the things you once disliked. Travel is you growing. Travel is one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Travel teaches you His love. Travel teaches you true beauty. Travel teaches you and it teaches others. Travel reaches people. Travel changes people. Travel isn’t always easy but I love travel. 

“The Lord will guide you.” Isaiah 58:11.
