In my 24 years of existence I have never strayed from the safe constraints of the US of A. In 18 days I fly halfway across the world to plant myself on the soils of the to-be-explored land of South Korea. I will encounter short people. I will encounter kimshi. And I won't have a damn friend in the world to start. But I hope to leave after 365 days having grown, learned, explored, laughed and freaking danced to the beat of a South Korean jigga-huh.
This is my documentation of it all. The travel, the trials, the home sickness, and my goodness - the adventure.
Thus far, life is coming to a fold. I can feel relationships, friendships, workships all colliding to a happy goodbye. I have a slew of coffee meets, dinners, dances, and brunches yet to be had.
It feels bittersweet. But I'm ready. My biggest wish now is to leave on all accounts in peace; to say my goodbyes, have some last laughs, some even larger hugs, and wish all my family and friends well on their next adventures.
(More to come)
Let the adventure begin!!!!! XOXO
