Untitled 13 months ago

I want to see the world, not only for trevelling but spending sometimes longer. I have been living in Thailand for 30 years and want to have life experience overseas.

Have to get the guts up 15 months ago

I think the first place of choice would be the US where i’ll have external family support. My problem is that i have pets that i don’t feel comfortable leaving behind or taking along with me. So until they kick the bucket (sounds terribly evil), this will be a goal about 10 years in the making. I’ve told myself no more pets after this, so that can’t hold myself back anymore.



It was awesome! 16 months ago

It was an experience that changed my life for ever….



KnowItWhenISeeYou Finally figured things out... and it feels great.

Exchange? 19 months ago

Apparently the law program has an exchange opportunity in England, that I am very willing to do.

Here we are! 23 months ago

We’ve been in Japan for about two weeks, with 2 years and 50 weeks to go… at least!!! I’m going to mark it as complete, though it’s more “in progress.”

Yay!



Untitled 1 year ago

I spent 18 months living and teaching in South Korea. It was stressful at times, often confusing, and sometimes frightening and depressing. It was also one of the best times of my life. It allowed me to save more money than I would in Canada, and experience a completely different method of living. The pros by far outweigh the cons, and I have nary a regret for doing what many people will say was a waste of my time.

Japan! 2 years ago

Ooooook… life has been exceptionally busy for my family as we are definitely, most assuredly, our-stuff-is-already-there-edly moving to Japan in November.

w00t!!!!!!

I guess sometime in December I can mark this as complete or change it to “Share my experiences about living overseas?!”

I’m in that amazingly excited, yet horrified stage. Yay!

Doing it right now! 2 years ago

I’m living in England right now and I’m so so glad I made it work, even if it isn’t permenant right now. Such a great experience. I love being here, and even though I have to go back in a year, I know that after I graduate college I’ll be moving back here for good.
This is for sure one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself!



close, but not yet 2 years ago

I’ve worked overseas, for relatively extended periods (i.e. 6 months) . . . but, I have yet to sell my possessions in the U.
S. and make the jump to expat. My last work trip took me to Vietnam, and I feel in love with Ho Chi Minh City. I daydream about living in HCM, learning to speak Vietnamese and French . . . working on projects that matter to me . . . drinking very strong coffee in cafes with other ex-pats . . . eating Bun for breakfast and Pho for dinner. Ahh. Daydreams.

In reality, it probably won’t happen anytime soon. I just bought my first house. I have a dog that I won’t abandon or give up.

But, daydreams are nice.
