I never saw it as a risk when I backpacked alone across Europe, or when I traveled internationally for work with my corporate job.  It never matters why I travel, that same pull to go is ever present.  I started saving my money for the Honduras mission trip last year, when I felt that all-familiar calling on my heart to go.  I had never been on an adult mission trip, only a chaperone for youth trips.  I knew this journey would be different, maybe even a little risky.
