Paramedic life is hard… helping others through their darkest days whilst you’re falling apart inside, Sometimes you ride for hours, climb mountains, just to find a little peace in the chaos 🙃🏍️🚑🗻

Annual leave mode: activated! Time to swap the sirens for some well-earned rest and recharge. After 24 years, I finally met the nuns who raised me before I was adopted. Finally, I got to say thank you and share where life has taken me. #guatemalan #adoption #travel #nuns
