A Little Bit About Us
Chris and I were amateur globe trotters, the majority of whose adventures had taken place around Europe. But whether it was horse riding in the Slovenian countryside, or exploring Croatia's islands, no adventure was as great as the one we embarked on four years ago when we uprooted our lives and moved across the world to South Korea to begin our work as English teachers. It was a decision that changed the entire course of our lives, and set us on a path of personal growth and self discovery from which there was no return.
But it wasn't easy and it came at a price. Many travel blogs discuss the exciting and adventurous aspects of living internationally, and while that's true, it's only one side of it. It also comes with a lot of hardship and difficulty that is perhaps less discussed.
This blog will hopefully depict an honest account and reflection of what it's like to leave your home and everything you know to go on the road and take on the world, because for some of us, how can 'travel' ever be limited to sitting by a pool for two weeks every year? I fall asleep every night thinking about the places I've yet to see, and everything 'out there' that I'm missing when I'm sitting at home. And sometimes I wonder what this kind of life, if I choose it, will cost me in the long run, and I'm not talking about money.
