I know I am going to miss Maribor a lot—in fact, I already do. But more than the city itself, I think I will miss the people I saw every day, our Monday meetings, petting Ziggy, laughing while trying to speak Slovenian, watching the snow or rain fall outside the window, the crows, and Ivana.
I am so happy and fulfilled to have spent this year of my life working on this project. I believe the Paula who is leaving is a little bit stronger, more self-assured, and calmer, with a fairer and more realistic view of the world.
