As my Galápagos adventure was coming to an end, I never imagined that some of my most meaningful travel lessons would happen not on a remote island, but while recovering from an injury.
After hurting my foot earlier in the voyage, the final days of the expedition looked very different than I had originally planned. Instead of hiking volcanic trails and participating in every excursion, I found myself slowing down, following doctor's orders, and learning to navigate the world from a new perspective.
