Although I can't even begin to make a list of all of the things we did and saw, this one at least highlights the best of the best and the things that left an impact on me. Enjoy!

Uganda all and all was the best experience of my life. There were times that were super hard but it was those little moments where I knew I was making a difference that made it all worth it. I am so beyond grateful for the opportunity I had to go travel the world and experience what I have. Hope everyone enjoyed reading my blog and following my journey along the way! It's good to be back and I am excited to see everyone soon!
