I have officially been back in the United States for a week. I was able to have a short three-night stay over with my friend that lives in Zurich on my way back. We were able to borrow his roommate's car and travel to the feet of the Swiss Alps. This was such a breathtaking experience, and it was amazing reflecting on the fact that I was just in Ghana two days prior. Then, I traveled back to San Francisco via Reykjavik. I had a ton of fun watching Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and the Northern United States go by under my feet. The different landscapes were incredible to see, and I loved watching over the world from so high up. I am now back in Santa Clara prepping for this upcoming school year. And, I will be returning home to Hawaii next week where I will finally be able to relax. I am excited to see my family again so that I can tell them all about my travels.

The main lesson that I have learned throughout this experience is that people are not that much different no matter where you are. I feel extremely fortunate to have had the experiences that I have gained throughout this trip, and I am excited to see what experiences I will have in the future. Also, I am very fortunate to Santa Clara for providing me this experience. Go Broncos!
