Specifically, this work includes stories of journeys from my life and those close to me, each focusing on or seen through the lens of a specific issue or theme. The journeys in each of these sections contemplate relationships, personal realizations, and lessons learned from these experiences. Although travel is a component of some of these pieces, the focus of this thesis goes beyond travel writing. These stories are about both physical journeys that convey a movement from point A to point B, as well as about journeys of a more spiritual or emotional nature.enJourneysTravelReflectionThesis
