I started dreaming of living abroad when I was a teenager. At the time I knew nothing about the world, but I did know that I had a passion to help others. I finally achieved that dream in 1996. But I soon found that my expectations were all wrong. Life abroad was completely different than I thought it would be.And yet I still live abroad, and I still love it. Living abroad opened up tremendous opportunities and validated the reality that life is a gorgeous, frustrating, and fulfilling adventure. I found what works for me.
