“2 Years is such a long time.”
Dear Future Goer,
As I was deciding on being a Goer to Innsbruck, Austria, I wrestled with many questions and the “costs”, which the two year commitment would require of me – one particular cost would be to move away from my family (with whom I am very close) and friends, who know me, get me, love me and whom I love very much.
