Hi everyone! It has now been about 2 weeks since we got back to Canada, and I think Mom and I are both settling in to Canadian living. For some reason – to me – it doesn’t really seem like I’ve been away, but it does at the same time.
I am now going to high-school and I am with all of my friends once again. It was so nice to see them (although a little overwhelming as well – I was practically being pulled apart!) and high-school is fun but very different from elementary.
I just wanted to make this short little post to wrap up my blog. Thank you to those of you who have followed it from start to finish, and I hope you’ve enjoyed it and maybe learned a few things. I definitely miss Laos a lot, I miss the smiles, the ‘sabaidees’, and the beautiful people among other things. As much as I miss it though, I am now happy to be back to my life in Canada. I remember how mad I was at my Mom at first when she announced that we were leaving for a year, but now I couldn’t be happier that we did. The last year was an invaluable experience, one that I don’t think I will ever forget.
This will probably be my last blog post for quite a while. But when Mom and I go back to Laos to visit, I will definitely write another post to show you guys how it goes!
Thank you for following the journey!
Taya ❤

Thank YOU Taya for sharing your experiences! I’m so glad you are back but I will miss these wonderful stories of your adventures. You are such a good storyteller!
I’m also so glad you embraced this adventure. You now have a world view that most people never have the good fortune to gain- you are a true global citizen with a perspective that the world needs more of! Being away from home will give you a greater appreciation of the good fortune we have living where we do, and maybe the responsibility we all have to our community – local or global. Your time in Laos has had a profound effect on you that will last a lifetime. What is it your Mom says (or i guess your great grandmother)… ‘you are the places you go, the people you meet, the books you read’- so true. Well that came out heavier than I planned!
I will hold you to the promise of further posts on further adventures!
