Time to leave for another journey. The exciting trip is ending up now. This does not mean the end of my journey. The end of one trip always lets ambitious tourists leave for another journey. So here is the beginning of my new trip.
I have realised through this trip that what I do is much more important than where I do in my life and of course in trip. As some readers know, I have decided to study abroad for my degree and to work for fighting against poverty in the world.
This is not the end of my story. It is the start of my new journey. Thank you for reading my journal so far.
