After a year of traveling, Alice returns to Willow Creek, feeling transformed by her experiences. She's excited to share her stories and photos with friends and family, but also feels a sense of sadness and longing for the excitement and freedom of traveling. Despite this, she's grateful to be back with her loved ones and realizes there's no place like home. Alice settles back into her life, enrolls in college, and continues to travel whenever possible. Her gap year was a life-changing experience that taught her about the world, herself, and what she's capable of. It opened her eyes to new possibilities, gave her the confidence to pursue her dreams, and marked the beginning of a lifelong journey of discovery and exploration.
