Hi all!
The last few days in Chiang Mai have been a true adventure! From visiting water falls to getting a full body massage (and I mean FULL body!) this journey has been go go go. Our group dynamics are forming from strangers to family everyday and I feel so lucky to grow with like minded adults. When first landing in Chiang Mai I knew I was in for a treat. With it’s bustling streets and huge markets there is always something new see just around the corner. On our first day in Chiang Mai we all got to know each other and try some of the incredible food Thailand has to offer. The next day we worked on finding our way around the city and talked about community. We have drawn up our group agreements as well and find we are very like minded. I have never met a group of young people I can relate to so quickly! Yesterday all of us explored water falls and visited a immaculate temple. Later we shopped and ate at a local market set up in the evening. Many of us bought clothes, myself included, and ate delicious street food! Today we were sent of a scavenger hunt where we ran around Chiang Mai in pairs trying to complete as much as possible. Though my partner (Amber Rose) and I did not get to talk with a monk when we visited a local temple in town we did get to try yummy fresh dragon fruit at a stand near by and have hour massages in a spa near our hostel. I’m so excited to see what tomorrow brings. Talk to everyone again soon!
