I discovered that every day has the potential to be extraordinary if I choose to see it that way. I learned to value the small moments and to celebrate life even when it felt ordinary, simple, or even boring. I also came to understand that it’s perfectly normal to feel sadness and to miss our home. In those times, knowing that the love and support of my family and friends were always with me brought immense comfort and strength.
Knowing that you were following my journey enriched every adventure. I captured countless photos, hoping they would bring my adventures closer to you, imagining how you would see the world through my eyes.
As I reflect on this incredible journey, I am filled with gratitude. I carry with me the vibrant colors of Italian sunsets, the laughter shared with new friends, and the realization that life is a collection of moments meant to be cherished. Thank you for walking alongside me, your encouragement, and sharing in this adventure. I had a lot of fun during our video calls. I hope you had fun, too. I took every step with you in my heart, and I hope that in some way, my travels have inspired you to see the beauty in your journey.
With love,
Samuel
