Argentina GapBreak wrap up

As we pack our bags and get ready for our journey home we can only think of how much we are going to miss Argentina.

For the last 3 months we have had some outstanding times. We have all had many amazing experiences such as working with the underprivileged youth in the villas, travelling through the breathtaking landmarks Argentina has to offer and hitting the town in some of Buenos Aires coolest bars and clubs. It has been a long time since we have seen the faces of our loved ones. To hear their voices again, to feel the arms around us and to be there for the special days will be such a reward to have again. Thinking where we will be this time next week or even this time next month is scary. For some of us we will never see each other again, only the tagged photo’s that pop up on our Facebook news feed with the familiar faces from Argentina will be left. For the few of us who have been fortunate enough to have a homestay family it will be hard to say goodbye. It’s going to be just as hard as it was when we said goodbye to our parents and family back home. The families we have been blessed with here have only been welcoming, loving and have left quite an impact on our lives. They have been there when we’ve had a harsh day at volunteering, when we’ve need someone to talk to, and when we’ve just needed someone to be that parent figure. They have done an exceptional job at opening their homes and hearts to us and they will not be forgotten. As we were jetlagged during our first two weeks again we will most likely be jetlagged when we arrive back home. It’s time we prepare our bodies for the shock they are about to receive and squeeze everything back into our suitcases... for some this will be a very difficult task as we have all accumulated so much since being in Argentina. All the best to those who are heading straight back home and to those who are either hanging around for a few weeks or continuing their travels around South America.
