End of the Semester, Thailand Southern Islands

End of Winter Semester 2018 and First Couple of Weeks in Thailand

I finished my first semester in the COMD program, and Im really confident this is what I want to do the rest of my life. I had lots of little adventures, including getting to visit Zion for the first time! The last day of April I flew out with a bunch of other girls to Thailand. Because of delays we traveled for more than 50 hours, so we started having adventures early ha. We arrived at Phuket Thailand exhausted and traveled between three of the islands and beaches in Southern Thailand. It was fun getting to know the girls as we backpacked around. Beyond grateful to see more of the world God created for us. *Sorry the pics are not in order again
