I commute to China for work every morning, and I absolutely LOVE it! Not to mention that it doesn’t matter where I am physically located (I’ve traveled to Italy and other places in the US), all I have to do is have internet and my computer (and a few props) and I’m able to tap into this incredible opportunity.

Oh dear, goodness gracious! I have never considered myself more lucky, or God’s timing so right as to allow me to leave Italy before the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis absolutely rocked this small country to the core.

So, maybe you’ve heard of something like this, but you don’t really know anything about it or what it involves. If you’re like me, maybe you’ve got a gap year or an itch to travel, a desire to find yourself, but there’s something holding you back.

I was never really the type to want to leisurely read whenever given any additional free time. It wasn’t until I had a book sitting on my bookcase with a cover that was completely daunting me and free time that I wanted to spend productively, rather than taking in blue light from a screen (though I often read books from a kindle app), that I turned to reading for fun. And quite honestly, I feel like my world has expanded vastly since diving into this adventure.

So here’s the thing. I have this dream- to travel the world. A road trip across the US in a van would completely suit my fancy. There is simply so much to see and to be experienced and so little time (especially with so much of it either melting or going under water). But rather than wasting time and wishing to be in a situation other than where I am now, I’ve decided to enjoy the journey.

Wow. Just like that, four years are over in the blink of an eye. It's crazy to think that I'm never going to be able to walk back onto RUHS' campus as a student in High School.
