Notable Quotes:

The importance of community for me and the fact that people are generally good have been the two main things I've learned. But there's a whole host of other things.

If you go in thinking that this place, and you're going to find yourself in this place, will fix you, it might, but you probably shouldn't go in with it like with that idea in your head.

Find out what visa you need, save up for the flight, and book it, and if you don't have loads of spending money, once you've booked that flight, as long as you've given yourself enough months to save for it. If you want it enough, you will find a way to save the money for that trip.

Hoping for something and doing something about it is so different, and just expecting something to come to you just because you want it is not how the world works.
