Hi Heidi probably really way to late to comment here, but I feel inspired and I love the way you talk about changing your mind at University (College). I did the whole business thing the first time - back in 80's and then ended up studying medieval history, ancient civilizations and art. Never did finish a degree either. I wish I had had the courage to hit the road like you. I wanted to and even remember checking out flights and backpacks. But... made a big mistake and let others influence me. I am inspired and thrilled by your adventures so far. Here I am a grandma now and still thinking about just going for a lot of my undone dreams! Do it if you are young (or old) - cause trust me it is true what they say - you never regret the things you did do - only the things you didn't do! Wow I gotta write another post!
