Time to Fly

Looking back, I’ve been thinking about this adventure for years!  However, the majority of the “wowza-this-is-actually-happening-I’ve-really-got-to-get-organized” stuff started 6 months ago.  On August 4th, 2018, I was finally ready to go. A tad nervous about this whole crazy idea and exhausted from all the thought and effort put into it, I just wanted to get on that plane and go!!

 As soon as I left and headed to the train station, I came across a white feather. To a friend and I, coming across such a feather means our fathers are watching over us. What a comfort! Ready to travel with me was another little token of support, a little brown boar. This boar was given to me as a sort of joke, but he definitely had my back on the first leg of my journey to Nepal-that story is for another post...

 Right before take-off from ZRH airport, a friend sent me a fitting Latin phrase: alis volat propiis 

„She flies with her own wings.“
Enjoy!
