What an adventure and you are an inspiration. I begin a new cross country season today and you begin a new day in a new land. Both exciting but so different. Trust your gut and stay well. Great story telling and thanks for taking us along. Andy, great story and thanks for your latest email update. What an adventure and you are an inspiration.

I've actually come to learn that 9 times out of 10, going with your heart/gut is almost always the right decision. Travel has taught me to trust my gut/intuition more than I ever used to (as its usually your only tool to judge a foreign situation and its right 90% of the time). All the best- Andy Lori,

I also struggle with the dilemma of wanting to trust and help someone, and yet, not wanting to be 'duped' or taken advantage of. You went with your heart, ultimately discovering that it was the right decision, and showing that it was wiser to take the risk and trust. Your understanding, kindness and generosity definitely triumphed over fear and mistrust. Bravo! Wishing you well on your extraordinary and inspiring adventures! Lori Chicago Andy,

I must say, I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as I write this. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, maybe it's because of the way your story ended...or maybe it's a little of both.
