    In this episode, I dive into what my life has been like while I readjust back into my everyday “normal” routine. This adventure has been a real eye-opener, and my perspective has definitely evolved. I truly hope you've found as much enjoyment in listening to these stories as I've had in sharing them. Thanks for being a part of this ride!

    If you thought this podcast would wrap up when my trip ended, well, you're in for a surprise! While everyone has plenty of tips for visiting a foreign country, there's not much advice out there for when you return home. In this episode, I'll be sharing my personal experience of readjusting after being away for a whole month and how things have changed. Join me as I navigate the realm of returning home and shed light on the unique challenges and adjustments that come with it. This journey isn't over just yet!
