Kirsten Alana I arrived in Goa on a flight with @theworldwanderer but we were strangers who merely knew of one another via social media. Almost two weeks later we left on the same flight headed home to NYC and in between through shared adventures and late night chats, we truly became friends. We also connected on a deeper level with Prachi Jain, the co-founder of @leaveurmarkindia and the reason we both found ourselves in India for the second time in our lives. Together the three of us have already made some big plans for 2017 that we cant wait to officially start working on but even if that hadnt happened this moment on our last day in Goa just after lunch at Elevar would still feel like some kind of full circle. • We all arrived as strangers. We all left as friends. In a group of 15 wildly different people from several different continents and many different countries, all kinds of bonds were formed during #escape2goa that will live on for years if not forever. In a time where bad news is dom inating the news headlines and it feels like there is not a lot to be hopeful about, Im so grateful to Leave UR Mark because they reminded me once again that traveling and experiencing other cultures is of utmost importance. A better world wont be found by staying at home, closing borders and building walls. So while the main endeavor of @leaveurmarkindia is to provide volunteer opportunities inside the country, and its something they do very well I have to applaud them for bringing us together and empowering us to go back out into the world to try to be agents of change both at home and abroad. I think every one of us has left Goa with new ideas and new goals for 2017!! ??????
