Today was the last day on another continent. It always feels bittersweet to leave a place when you know you probably won’t be back for a long time, if ever. The world is just too big.

Sure, the world is getting smaller in that it’s more connected, but the diameter of the earth is still 12,756 km. That hasn’t changed. It doesn’t matter if you seek nature or wildlife, culture or food, art or architecture—all of it exists all over the entire planet. It’s fascinating, but you can’t see it all.

The sweet part is it’s on to another journey, another adventure, another unknown. And it’s kind of beautiful that we can’t see it all. We have to choose what we do with our time here. In the end, it’s our choices that tell us who we are.
