Leaving Raleigh

May 21 2023

I’m sitting at my gate at RDU waiting got my first flight of the trip: Raleigh to Toronto. I feel more nervous than I ever have for a trip, but I guess that makes sense. On one hand, it’s a trip that’s 3 years in the making and on the other, it feels like my time at home flew by. It’s also so different from anything I’ve done before - I’ll visit 8 countries in 3 months by myself! I’m kind of freaking out! I guess I learned: I can do anything I set my mind to. But the question is, is that a bad thing or a good thing?
