These are my favorite quotes of the episode:

• 6:52: “Am I going to be lots alone, and how is it going to be in a hostel, and is it going to feel naturally to me to talk with lots of people that I actually don’t know? I was so scared for this."
• 7.35: “Lots of people are traveling alone, and you’ll meet them anywhere.” 
• 13:09: “I came back after my first travel, and it was kinda hard. To be honest, I actually really didn’t like to go back home.” 
• 15:39: “Of course I was kinda scared, because it's so nice to have the safety, but I am even more scared to feel stuck.” 
• 26:23 “This was the best experience ever, really. I was so amazed by how much you can give and how much they were willing to give and there was just so much love to share."
• 42:28: “In India, as soon as you go outside, everything is a struggle. I kinda like it because it’s an adventure, but I am missing the comfort sometimes.” 
• 48:07: “I think you will go through so many low moments where you will learn so much about yourself, but then the high moments are higher than you could imagine. You’re living, live the fullest.”
