What an incredible experience I had on my Quest. I was a challenging, humbling, and rewarding experience. The most challenging for me was going to a place where I had no understanding of the language and feeling thrust directly into the culture as a quest is so different from a tourism trip.

The greatest highlight of my Quest was the relationships with the people that I met: the students, teachers, staff and parents of the school children. It was a true connection although we did not speak the same language we still were able to communicate through smiles and body language. I felt like part of the community or rather more like family. I was welcomed with open arms and was showered with love and excitement for my visit. An also the greatest highlight was meeting people where they are school, work, community an see first hand that people are people; striving to achieve a better life, take care of their families and have balance. It was amazing that I felt at home and did not feel a lack of anything.

My quest has left me with lasting friendships and memories that will continue to give because the people I meet on my Quest are now a part of my life forever. It also taught me that some of the abundance that I have in my life is not a necessity. I enjoyed living a bit of a simpler life on my quest. It allowed me to be more center and to focus with in and see where I could make adjustments in my life. It also help me to open my mind and heart even more to people that I may not think I understand but learned that all people have more in common then what they think and believe.
