I’ve got nothing serious and final to say. Right now, I am on a flight back home to Vancouver—34 minutes until I land! I’ve been sick these past couple of days since the course has been over and I’ve been staying in Lima. It feels right that I started and ended the trip in sickness.
My favourite moments of our journey were just as much the big events as the in-betweens. Hurried market meals before class. Late-night poop conversations. Karaoke and stupid word games with dangerously patient taxi drivers.
My favourite thing was getting to know all of you. How you all laugh and think. I have so much more respect for each and every one of you and am excited to see where you go.
And I am so very thankful for Jon and Daniel, for taking us on this wild journey and looking after us.
Though this feels like the perfect moment to conclude, right now I really don’t have much to say. It’s still fresh. I’m probably over 50% market food right now. I think a lot of what this trip has meant for us will only become apparent with time. And even then, not always in words. Anyways, I don’t want to do the trip justice here. I couldn’t.

“I think a lot of what this trip has meant for us will only become apparent with time. And even then, not always in words.” This is so well-said and I completely agree! 🙂 Welcome home!
Sometimes endings are special in what we cannot express in words. Feels like one of those conclusions right now. I’m so happy to have met you dude. I’m excited for the reflections you’ll have in time, hopefully I will have some too. Miss you <3
Hi Adam. Just wanted to congratulate you on grinding out like 5 blogs in a matter of 24 hours. Truly impressive work. I aspire to dedicate myself to anything else the same way.
My favourite moments on this trip were also the quiet time spent in the “in-between’s.” I’ve always appreciated the degree in which you reflect with an open mind and wonder. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed hearing your thoughts about your experiences on this trip. And inquiring into your Dr Feastus reviews.
Let’s hangout in Vancouver. Jasmine and I have plans for shenanigans.
