Bula Vinaka! Bula Vinaka!
Hello to all our wonderful friends from all over the States! Our time together as a group may have just come to an end, but all your journeys are only beginning. The best journeys answer questions, that in the beginning, you never even thought to ask. We hope that some of your life questions (both known and unknown) were contemplated and pondered during our adventures in three stunningly beautiful countries. Maybe the universe provided some guidance for you along the way. Maybe some of the people surrounding you touched your soul in some way.
Both of us can say we are better people for knowing each and everyone of you. Our lives are richer for having known all of you; we can only hope that our impact on your life brought more positive light and love into the world. Whether it be by service work, seva, SCUBA, farming, or whatever experience resonated the most, we truly feel you all made the most out of your time in the South Pacific. May these memories stay fresh and may you continue to carry the experiences with you in your everyday lives. May you not lose sight of what you aim to achieve. Success in life comes with work and dedication to your passions, and sometimes you have to overcome challenges to attain that “Personal Legend.” Remember not to let those challenges impede your ability to be the best version of yourself.
Our time together has ended, but we will remain in each other’s hearts for a lifetime. We have nothing but admiration and respect for all of you. Proud is not a word that gives justice to our sentiments for everyone that embarked on this journey. The courage and confidence you all showed to get on a plane with complete strangers to make the most out of this experience is a testament to your characters. If you continue to show that type of courage the world- and everyone in it- will be grateful for your existence.
With love and gratitude
Gwen and Mac
