Holy moly I'm here and am loving it already! The last 24 hours were a marathon incredible journey, but once I got here... It's a dream.

After connecting in Taipei and Bangkok, I finally arrived on the island of Ko Samui (just 1 island over from where our training is) into the cutest little airport ever... You deplane outside and there is one luggage carousel in one building and that's it... Maybe some orchid plants and ferns around to decorate the place, but really... This place was tiny.

I found a stand that was selling ferry tickets just outside of the airport, and for 350 Baht (around $11 USD) I got a bus transfer and ferry ticket to Koh Phangan

I read for a bit while I waited for the ferry and was just starting to wonder how I hadn't met anyone yet from my program en route to the island, when my new friend, Halla, came up and asked if I was headed to the All Yoga training :) It was such a relief to meet someone and chat about what we are doing here, how excited we are etc. 

Once we arrived and met everyone else, it became immediately clear that this is going to be the most amazing experience. Even though we all have different backgrounds, we all seem to have similar personalities and are all here for mostly the same reasons. The coolest thing yet is that everyone is from different parts of the world- 26 people from all over he damn place- New Zealand, Iceland, South Africa, Holland, Italy, Austria, etc.... 

I couldn't love this more :)  

8am is going to come super duper early tomorrow with my jet leg... Thank the lord for Advil PM
