Crazy? Yeah, maybe. The closer I get to boarding that plane, the more I think I must be insane to pack up my comfortable life for something so unknown. In a lot of ways, I have no idea what the next year will hold. But I do know that there will be plenty of adventures, challenges and new experiences along the way, and for that, I couldn't be more excited.
Every time I return from traveling somewhere, I almost get on the next flight back out of the country. I talk all the time about how I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the US, about how I can't wait to go live overseas somewhere and here I am, doing it (although to be honest, I kind of figured that living overseas would be a few years down the road...like maybe post-paying off of loans). Korea for me is going to be simultaneously a fulfillment of a deep desire and a test to see if my words are more than just words--if they are truly how I feel. This is a culture which I have never experienced and whose language will truly be foreign to me, and so I have incredible challenge and opportunity ahead.
Thank you to everyone for your best wishes and kind words as I set off on this journey...I will miss all of you tons, and will be sending out updates via this blog.
Love,
Heather
