The time has finally come for me to embark on my journey! The bags have been packed, my visa has been approved, and the goodbyes have been said. All that’s left to do is board the plane, and make the 34 hour trip to Chiang Mai!! I feel extremely thankful to have so many people in my life that make it difficult to say bye.

I’m so excited to take a giant leap into the great unknown, making lots of friends and memories along the way. I have no idea what to expect, but that’s the joy of exchange! Getting out of my comfort zone to see the world and grow into the person I want to be. This year will be full of learning experiences, and I can’t wait to share my time with y’all! The next post will be from Thailand!!

Love,

Emma Kate

P.S.

Thank you to Mamo for my bags, the AES accounting team for my adorable cat luggage tags, and my family for supporting this journey! Also, thanks to the Rotary Club of Katy and District 5890 + 3360 for making my exchange happen!
