5 years ago, I met a woman whose story and vision radically shook my world. I fan-girled over the fact that she is shorter and far feistier than I. Her fierce passion to seek justice brought a ripple effect among every person she met. She had a story and she used it to bring change. She started A21 Campaign, which has now grown to combat human trafficking worldwide. Every year on October 19, A21 arranges a Freedom March across the world to recognize modern day slavery. I've been wanting to participate ever since I met Christine Caine. This year I was finally able to join in Malaga, Spain. What an honor to be part of a movement that was started by a woman whose vision and story radically changed the people around her. This is why we need to keep sharing our stories with those around us -- because it might just radically change their life. I hope to meet Christine again to thank her for sharing the story that continues to push me towards my vision. Maybe some day I'll be as cool as Christine 😊 Sophie Skips Town • Freedom March #sophieskipstown #malaga #spain #A21campaign #walkforfreedom #walkforfreedom2019

An incredible place to call my home for the next few months ❤️ So grateful for the opportunity to be in Spain with @globalu_gapyear and live with such an incredible community.

"It's been 9 years, Sophie. 9 years since I saw my father. Now I finally get to see him. After all this time. We got our tickets. We're going!" I am honored to follow the beautiful story of my incredible friends who have overcome so much. Separation, devastation, walking into the unknown. All this time, just holding onto the hope that they would all some day be reunited. And now they're one step closer. It's easy to torture ourselves by the idea of "what if...?" What if we hadn't taken that path? What if we hadn't made that decision? What if we hadn't met that person? In my friend's case, what if the boat hadn't stopped too soon -- one stop short of where her father was waiting. That logistical setback changed everything, forcing her to grow up without a father. But the big picture is always there -- we may not see it just yet, but it will soon become clear. Excited for the next chapter of this incredible story I've witnessed over the past 6 years. To be continued. Sophie Skips Town • The Family Tree Photo creds: @haileycsadler #sophieskipstown #rohingyareunions

I never seem to be in the States when I should be....so sad to have missed your incredible wedding. Wishing I was there to join you on your special day!!! I'm so excited for you and Patrick and this incredible new chapter you two are starting together. Wishing you all the best and sending all my love from the other side of the world ♥️

El Camino de Santiago: I am honored to walk along this path that is so deep in history and rich with stories. What an incredible journey to follow this historical path, listen to stories, and join fellow pilgrims along the way. Some days felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, but the countless "cafe con leches" I drank were nice reminders that we were not quite in Kansas 😄 Buen Camino ♥️ • Sophie Skips Town • El Camino de Santiago • --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editing creds: @nihab_rahman #sophieskipstown #elcaminodesantiago #elcamino #spain #buencamino #travel #travelphotography
