A Letter from Belfast

Some of you might know that yesterday afternoon I was meant to board a plane for Iceland.  However, after loads of careful consideration, I threw caution to the wind and cancelled my flight.  I hopped on a ferry from Glasgow to Belfast, and I've landed back at my home away from home, Lagan Backpackers.

I received such a lovely and warm welcome from the staff here upon my return.  I can't believe I'm here, and I'm so incredibly excited to see what comes next!  This has been such an incredible ride so far, and my journey has only just begun.

To my friends and family back home:

Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support.  I couldn't have made it here without your faith in me.  I miss you all terribly, but you're always welcome to come visit the beautiful country of Ireland, and I'll probably be home soon.

To all of my travel buddies:

Feel free to come see me at the hostel!  We can swap stories since I last saw you, and I'll show you around my new (temporary) home!

To all of my Irish/Scottish/English/Welsh friends:

Come over and visit!  Or I'll come over and visit!  Or we can go somewhere I haven't been yet!

A big thank you to everyone I've met along the way.  I've said it before, but my trip truly would not be the same without your laughter and beautiful smiling faces!  Here's to the next chapter!
