So recently I had the pleasure of traveling outside of my North Carolina Bubble and going to the deep south; New Orleans, LA. I went on a mission trip with more people that I didn't know than those that I did and stepped completely out of my element. For a whole week I slept on an air mattress, took cold showers, and tore down the remnants of a retirement home for the poverty stricken. I made friends with strangers (which I thought I was done doing after freshman yr) and rode in a 12 passenger van for a total of at least 28 hours. Now I'm not going to say I loved every minute cuz Lord knows there were times when I seriously had to consider who my one phone call was gonna go to; but it turns out my experience was a far better reward than a temporary relief of rage. I stuck it out and had the time of my life! Therefore I highly recommend that those of you with the option to travel.... doooooo it!
