What my Adventure has Taught me

1. A profound appreciation for nature. Ireland is bloody gorgeous.
2. Openness to people -- first-impressions aren't everything. In fact, they're usually wrong.
3. You can rely on yourself for the basics -- food, necessities, cleaning, etc.
4. Look at how well you've budgeted! You can rely on a small amount of money, even if it's not always the funnest.
5. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
6. You can be an outdoorsey-type. You love to rock climb!!
7. You have tried plenty of new foods -- and were right to not have tried them before.
8. Willingness to try new things -- it was so hard before, but now it's like second-nature.
9. It's hard, but ask yourself why. Then you'll discover more about yourself, and realize it's not that hard after all.
10. A larger appreciation for friends and family - look at how much you've missed them.
11. How to live outside your comfort-zone.
12. You're human, not some math-genius-robot. You have feelings -- sometimes upsetting ones, but there are good ones too. I promise.
13. You can do it.
