"what we have before us is an incredible opportunity. an opportunity that is afforded to very few. we will learn together, and from each other. we will experience the world together. we will laugh together. we will cry together. we are the lucky ones. we are going around the world. so keep perspective in mind. you are joining less than 1% of the world's population in circumnavigating the globe. that world awaits each one of us. may we seize it and embrace it, full steam ahead."
