Angela N. Blount wrote this reminder about unexpected turns.
Travel and volunteering rarely follow a perfect plan. A missed bus, a new invitation, a change in weather can send you down a different path. Stay open. Listen to your hosts, say yes to safe opportunities, and let curiosity guide the next small step. Detours often lead to the best views, new skills, and friendships you could not have planned.
“Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.”
