Happiness is only real when shared

Tonight we had our farvell party in Aalborg. It was our chance to reflect on amazing times and thank all the people it has taken to make our GSE experience one we will never forget!

I know we said a quick thanks tonight...but I just want write my last blog from Denmark to express my gratitude.

The poignant moral of the story from one of my favourite movies "into the wild" is happiness is only real when shared. And i think there has never been a truer word said. This GSE experience would be nothing with out the people I have shared this with.

First and foremost our marvellously generous and kind host families and vocational mentors who have welcomed us with open arms, shown and shared their lovely homes, workplaces, meals, towns and best hygge and hospitality. The generosity, pride and passion they have shared it with have not gone unnoticed either...thank you for taking us in to your home, sharing your city and making our experience so personal and memorable.

Of course to Finn and his incredibly dedicated team of GSE coordinators who put in all the hard work coordinating and organising our hosts, vocations days and cultural experiences behind the scenes. You have done yourselves, Rotary and Denmark proud. You have shown and given us the very best. Thank you!!

And last but certainly not least my most fantastic, amazing, incredible BFFs...my GSE teamies! You guys re just the best! You are such an amazing bunch of people, who I feel so lucky to call my friends. The biggest heartfelt thank you for all the laughs, chats, special times shared and friendship. This trip would not have been as rewarding, fulfilling or enjoyable if I didn't share it with you.

Tomorrow is our last full day of our experience. I leave Denmark full of wonderful memories, inspiring lessons and so much richer from all the new friends I have made. Tak for den fantastiske oplevelse! Denmark will always have a special place in my heart!
