Friends in Far Places
This is a quick shout out to all the friends and family we’ve connected with along our journey! Those from home who’ve come to meet us, but also those who live abroad and have welcomed us in their cities and hosted us in their homes! We cannot express enough how much your hospitality has meant or how much it has enriched our experience. Thank you! 💕
