Day 42 (Monday Oct 1) – The first day of October saw me pack up all my belongings into Tuatoru and leave Mosgiel, NZ, heading northwest to Queenstown, NZ.

Read MoreGigCity – Endings and Reflections
My time in GigCity came to an end with the transition from September to October. Looking over my camera roll from the last week, there are as many images of book pages as there are of actual sites and people. This is because I spent the week reading, reflecting, and planning for what’s to come….

I didn’t keep journals as a child, although I do have one from time spent in Washington, D.C. as a junior in high school. I recorded my time on plain, college-ruled paper in a 3-ring binder. I was part of a National Youth Forum on Medicine, a two-week summer program designed for high school students…
