As I sit in my Wisconsin home, reflecting fondly of my time in Thailand this past year, it’s painfully obvious to me what I will miss most about Thailand. Unequivocally, without a doubt, it’s all the amazing people I met and who befriended me throughout the year. Some say happiness is not real until it is shared with those you love; I was quite happy this past year. My experience abroad would not have been as memorable without these individuals:

Weaw J / Rob P / Rina / Pui / Lucy / Jay / Na / Toon / Rung / Aek / Maes / Kookaii / Siaji / Sutchit / Herdis / Rob S / Daniel / Xavier / Tatu / Diana / Joanna / Ewa / Charlotte / Shalini / Cyril / Aileen / Ozlem / Oli / Eunice

I hope to see each of these individuals again in my life because nothing would bring me more joy than to rekindle my friendship with anyone on this list. I can’t properly articulate what each friend means to me; it can best be described as a pleasant feeling in my heart that brings a sigh of satisfaction and a soft smile to my lips. I wish everyone good luck with their future endeavors and may our paths cross again some day.
