MY Superlative

In a two days it will be one hundred and nine days since I have left and I will have circum navigated around the world!!! It hard to fathom how fast this semester went by and all that I have done. Through this adventure I have seen, heard and experienced a vast amount of cultures, religions, food, weather, and terrain. I have created a superlative of my own evaluation of the countries I visited in order to answer some basic questions you might have. I am unable to pick a favorite country, as I have loved every single one for different reasons. This trip has changed me from the inside out (literally with no hair). I will forever remember the times I spent in port and on the ship. It has taught me many life lesson such as humility, listening, and the simply love of humanity.  Hope you enjoy… .
