Throughout the last 2 1/2 months I was thinking of the perfect way to conclude this blog post. Our group has been through the highs of going caving and exploring the Great Barrier Reef, and the lows of sorting trash in the pouring rain and everything in between. Instead of describing the last week of student directed travel, I decided to bring our adventure to a close by summarizing my favorite quotes and most common things said by everybody in the group. To an outsider, this may seem like a random jumble of words and phrases, but to us, it describes the ways in which 14 strangers became family. Thank you to the Carpe Diem South Pacific family for making the most meaningful gap year experience I could ever imagine. – Ben
