Two days and a year ago I left on my 7 month excursion around the world. First travelling to Japan with my friend Maree, then onto Scotland for 4 months on exchange and finally 3 months of travel around Europe.
I don't feel like I've been home for 7 months, in fact I don't even feel like I was away for that long.
In 8 days time I will be going back to the UK. The phase 'I cannot wait' is an understatement for the excitement that is growing. Things have been hard while my boyfriend has loved overseas for the last year. Going to see him again will be unbelievable. But as a good friend said to me not so long ago, I don't want to want to remember 2012 as the year I waited for my boyfriend to come home. Instead, what I will remember it as is the year that 19 of my friends/family got engaged/married, I travelled for 7 months, finished 2nd year of uni, gained and proceeded to lose 8kg, found a new love and gratitude towards my family, and regained an appreciation for myself.
2012 has been so much more than just a year, but I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be bigger and better.
