| How I will remember Peru, in one photo. | 
|  | 
| Life in the desert.  This photo was taken from the roof of the municipal building. | 
|  | 
| The rolling hills of Manchay. | 
|  | 
| Desert.  Metropolis.  Home 2.0. | 
|  | 
| No sleep for 40hrs, but so happy to be home with my parents - the best parents anyone could ask for. | 
|  | 
| I'm so happy to be back home with my husband!  Missed him so much.  Husband.  Partner.  Secret Weapon. | 
|  | 
| 14 months in the making!  Love you all. | 
As many of you know, I am home now.  My time in Peru was nothing short of life changing.  I learned so much, worked towards my goals, made friendships I will cherish and carry with me forever, and realized how beautiful life can be when you walk out of your comfort zone, accept a challenge, and do something that truly reflects who you are, and what you are meant to be doing.  Two days ago, one of my best friends asked me if I felt that I had changed.  After a long pause I replied, "I feel more like myself".
I am so grateful to all of you - my friends and family - who have supported me throughout my time in Peru.  I really cannot find the words to express just how grateful I am.  I love you all, and thought of you every single day. 
To my parents and sister, this would have been impossible without your love and support, and a special thanks to my husband, because all of this would be meaningless without you by my side.
