December In Hindsight

I continued on my Intrepid Tour of Central America and had a blast. The weather was good to us. The people were so friendly despite the language barriers. The food tasty. The sunrises and sunsets are the best. Then I returned home mid-December, faced with a break up with my boyfriend so moved back home to live with the parentals. After suffering terrible anxiety I have had the time to recover, and with the support of beautiful friends, I am now looking forward to seeing what 2020 has in store….
